Group A - Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon

Vanishing spray, last like a minute to mark freekicks and stuff

Didn't realise that when the game has a "water break", the clock won't stop.

Isn't it taken into account in stoppage time?

In the top left? It looks quite nice.

Their title sequence is great as well in all fairness.

That Nike advert is awful.

is it like this?

No.

Nothing like that

I don't like ITV's scoreboard, but there we are.

Neither do i. This is it btw.

Corluka is such a dirty cunt.

Never a penalty.

This is going to be a fun World Cup with Brazil getting absolutely everything.

What a dive, refs bottled it

Fuck me that's a horrendous decision by the referee.

What a fucking load.

Dreadful from the ref.

Unlucky keeper.

Something you don't see often - co-commentator on Russian TV was getting hammered on Twitter, hasn't turned up for the second half.

That leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

This is fucking bullshit.

Ref's not doing himself any favours with this performance.

Or maybe he's had his favours given to him already.

Another fucking shite call there by the referee.

Been really impressed by Ivan Perisic in this game.

This keeper is fucking awful.

Both keepers quite dodgy.

Brazil have been lucky tonight.

Terrific finish from Oscar.

Not the start I wanted. Lets hope this doesn't become a theme.

Referee gave everything to Brazil.

Aside from Oscar I wasn't really impressed with any of them.

Perisic, Rakitic and Modric were excellent I though. Olic looked good for a guy in his mid-50's. And I enjoyed him shouting at Jelavic for anything and everything.

I thought Neymar had a decent game, few decent dribbles.

Luiz played well after his early howler, too.

Sao Paulo is the biggest Japanese city outside of Japan. The refereeing team are probably in for a good next few days.
