[Jonathan Fairfield]

Neymar 1-1

[KhunKone]

Pistachios it should be on cTV7, but got it on TV5 also...

[Jonathan Fairfield]

Half time whistle goes

Brazil 1 - Croatia 1

[dabhand]

Neymar a bit naughty just before his goal. He clearly saw Modric before the challenge and aimed a sneaky elbow in his face.

Possibly lucky to only receive a yellow. Although a red would probably have caused a riot....!!

Yes, he definitely saw Modric.

Not sure the Ref would have had it in him to send of Brazil's star player 30 minutes into the first half of the opening game!

@KhunKone thanks, but it seems my cable provider (rawai cable) is messing with the channels, no match available...

[Jonathan Fairfield]

That's one way to stop Neymar!

[Jonathan Fairfield]

PENALTY BRAZIL

Never a penalty in a million years

Ref's had a nightmare

[Jonathan Fairfield]

GOAL. Neymar. Penalty

2-1 Brazil

Croatia keeper very unlucky

[uptheos]

Never a penalty!

Ridiculous run up by Neymar.

[HeavyDrinker]

Dear oh dear....abysmal from the ref. Don't think we'll be seeing him again this WC.

Shame the keeper couldn't keep that out....Croatia were bossing it too until that nonsense.

1 - Neymar is the first Brazilian to score a penalty in a #WorldCup game since Ronaldinho vs China in 2002. Spot.

[HeavyDrinker]

Pistachios its on 3 regular channels at the moment....

[Jonathan Fairfield]

This match will probably be remembered now for a shocking penalty decision rather than for the entertaining game that it has been so far. Shame

[Jonathan Fairfield]

Oscar has had an excellent game for Brazil, great ball in for David Luiz then, who should have scored

[uptheos]

The white line drawing for retreating 10 yards is neat.

[KhunKone]

ahahah yeah white line drawing... Might we remind those Fifa oldies Heads that we're now in 2014....

So much more to do for a change....

[Jonathan Fairfield]

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

[HeavyDrinker]

Hmmmm, nothing wrong with that. Cesar fumbled it. Already mutterings of 'brown envelopes' buzzing around the internet....

[Jonathan Fairfield]

Croatia would be right to feel hard done by from some of these decisions against them.

Remind, me at what point did it become illegal for a player to jump next to a goal keeper and challenge for the ball.

Anything even remotely touching a keeper is always given as a free kick these days.

[Jonathan Fairfield]

GOAL GOAL GOAL BRAZIL!

And a little toe poke at that.

Well taken by Oscar, who has been Brazil's best player so far imo

[KhunKone]

You def. could jump next to but not bump into him though...

He's hitting the GK right bfore the ball.

Alright thanks Oscar, now it's done !

Edit : But I agree in the UK usually it wouldn't have been fault...

[uptheos]

The Croatian keeper is really good at stopping shots on the ground from distance!!
