Brazil v Croatia Matchthread

[Riandor]

We'll it's the first game, a lot of pressure on Brazil... I think tonight for them was about the result. Doubt they will be this poor again, but they do have some obvious weaknesses.

Awful refereeing. Croatia didn't deserve to lose this game.

Lol at the people in this thread going over the top. Sound like a bunch of Liverpool fans

The amount of dodgey calls we got at this year with soft pens and such I guess we have the refs in our pocket too.

Refs routinely make bad calls in favour of the home team, you guys have watched football before yes

 

[King of Otters]

I want Bernard.

He did fuck all in the time he was on the pitch. Don't think he's quick enough to make up for his puny physique, personally.

 

[thinktank]

Losing faith in football tbh.

The only way bwaziwl will win this tournament is with more obvious favouritism. Very disjointed team - balance is all wrong. And they are filthy.

Good first game overall irt action and incident, but a damn shame for it.

 

[Donki]

Brazil look very beatable, probably deserved to win but massive assists from a shocking home ref left them clear

I think we need to realise the extra pressure on them, I think they will settle down. The uproar around this WC is bound to be in their minds.

The biggest game in the world ruined by a ref, what a surprise. No one's talking about the game, just the bloody ref again! Twitter's going mental, Waddle's going mental on the radio and I've got mental too!

That wasn't a soft penalty. That was result rape

 

[Flynn]

Brazilians hate ITV too

 

[Spurger King]

lol, Chiles is going to get lynched.

 

[lukadownthelane]

Glad to see Brazilian fans share our disgust of ex arsenal players

 

[mark87]

lol, Chiles is going to get lynched.

With any luck

 

[SlickMongoose]

Brazilian protesters are attacking the ITV studio. They must be as annoyed by Adrian Chiles as everyone else is.

Awwwww come on Tanky we all know what how WCs can pan out, wins are wot counts. They can only get better and they will IMO.

 

[mpickard2087]

Get 'em, Brazilian hooligans!

 

[King of Otters]

Remortgage your house, sell your car , don't buy food.....then lump it all on Brazil.

Sepp will not allow them to lose this.

Do you seriously believe that? I think you're overestimating the power of Blatter.

 

[Blake Griffin]

paulinho is so bad.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

lol, Chiles is going to get lynched.

Someone should tell him that all these protests were actually about getting him out of the country.

Player dives. Ref buys it. It happens, a lot

 

[Donki]

Veira's talking spence, Dixon being blind.

 

[felmani26]

Can't say I was overly impressed with Brazil but a win's a win and as we all know, the tournament doesn't get going until the knockout stage.

Croatia were tidy and threatening in spells but appalling keeping and some equally poor refereeing decision making has cost them but deserved a point IMO.

Still to be convinced over Neymar personally.
