dabhand Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 if anyone deserved a goal it was Oscar. He has put in a shift tonight.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Fairfield Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Julio Cesar has made some decent saves but he doesn't exactly fill you with confidence. The Toronto FC keeper is perhaps a weak link for Brazil, although, with Neymar, Oscar and co, it probably wont matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Fairfield Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 FULL TIME Brazil 3-1 Croatia. Two goals from Neymar send the hosts top of Group A. Brazil were worthy winners, but Croatia can feel a little hard done to there, especially with some of the Ref decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Fairfield Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Not a bad opening game then. We've got Mexico vs Cameroon tonight at 11pm. Then some potentially belting games over the weekend. We're going to try and run live match threads for each game throughout the tournament. We've also got loads of world cup news, match reports, funny stuff and more coming to the World Cup Forum. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovechiangmai Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 that penalty was a joke .. the ref decision was what I call home court advantage .... I have a feeling that in this WC we will get a world champion nobody has ever expected..like when Greek has won the EURO.....now I hope that this WC will bring Happiness back to all Thai people time for me to get some sleep now .. will be in Chiangmai again in September Greetings from Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The stuttering parrot Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 And the oscar goes to Fred ! That's why soccer gets such a bad name with players taking dives like that. Definitely a home town decision for Brazil and it ruined what was a pretty good match. Stand by for more diving and cheating and controversial decisions that will shatter some teams World Cup dream!

RickBradford Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Good: Modrich, Neymar, Olic, Oscar Bad: Pletikosa, Cesar Terrible: Nishimura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellydog Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 PENALTY BRAZIL Never a penalty in a million years Ref's had a nightmare Flopping Fred. Brazil the better side though, and a deserved victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellydog Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 The white line drawing for retreating 10 yards is neat. They've been using it in the Brazilian league for a couple of years now I think. Very effective Argentina as well. A good idea really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazykopite Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Never a penalty in a million years and Neymar should have gotten a straight red card for the elbow was not impressed with the ref put a weak ref with the home team and they will go all the way Croatia on my humble opinion played a good game and deserved a point !, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Christmas13 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 The Croatian keeper is really good at stopping shots on the ground from distance!! Such as this one? https://mtc.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/3F5DA060661088990919879172096_25f281a263e.0.4.5199301348061876894.mp4?versionId=9HnCUEp6F7SQhf8Zhzvpyex_LROReCfZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel2003 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Everyone seems to be predicting a Brazil win. Does nobody fancy a Croatia upset? Even a draw here would be an upset for Brazil. Unless they meet before, Brazil and Italy meet in the final. They have already agreed with the officials, when they handed over the envelopes before the cup started. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stgrhe Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 A good game, for an opening match, with a poor referee and a flat-footed Croatian goalkeeper, else Croatia would have had a chance to capture this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko kok prong Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Ref,clearly gave the rub of the green to Brazil,sure the croat defender had an arm on Fred's shoulder but no way a penalty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StevieH Posted June 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2014 Ref,clearly gave the rub of the green to Brazil,sure the croat defender had an arm on Fred's shoulder but no way a penalty. if felt bent that. like the ref was following orders from above. if brasil aren't winning and you get a chance to give a penalty, you give it lad. couldn't get the whistle in his mouth fast enough. good: oscar, modric, rakitic, neymar. bad: FIFA. hope this blatant we-need-the-locals-celebrating-not-demonstrating refereeing isn't going to be present in every brasil game. leaves a bad taste. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
