[Jonathan Fairfield]

[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.

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...

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