Neymar is a cheating cunt as well, we all knew it so I dunno why people are so surprised that he dives and elbows people and stuff?

It's hard to referee games when people are flinging themselves to the floor over slight contact.

It's of no good use having a fancy spray can in your back pocket if you don't know what a penalty is...

Poor refereeing and some sloppy goalkeeping from Pletikosa ruined it.

Can you blame the ref though, doesn't give the penalty probably gets shot in the street somewhere.

Anyways put a $10 free bet on Neymar, woke up just on half time checked the score, 1-1 thought the worst, seen Croatia scored first then did a double take on the name cause I was still half asleep and saw it was Marcelo. Went hold on he's Brazilian, ended up winning the bet so had a happy morning

As many of you have said, the referee was horrendous last night, not the way the World Cup should of been kicked off especially with Fred 'simulating' to win a penalty. He was shit all game and to make a name for himself goes down when someone blows on his neck!

Not impressed with Brazil, you can see they are not a team, lucky for them they have some great individuals and also have the home ground advantage.

Croatia could have gotten more from this game, but they played with some sort of fear which hampered them.

Hmm I dunno, they all seemed to work their socks off regardless of the poor attacking player - Neymar was absolutely fucked when he came off he never stopped, neither did Oscar, Luis Gustavo or the two wingbacks.

It was a disjointed performance for sure but to write them off for it would be silly.

I don't think they did 'play with fear' at all. Brazil couldn't break them down until Freds cheating.

If any of the Neymar sending off, penalty call or disallowed goal had been called correctly they'd have got a draw at least.

Should have seen the reaction on the Si forums. Loads suggesting the ref had been bribed, and one person said Croatia should leave

Aparently Marcelo's own goal is a first for Brazil in a World Cup... and they've been in all of them

Neah, nobody is writing them off... as I said, tehy have some great individuals and the home advantage.

I don't know, I had the feeling that they lacked some guts going forwards, were too cautious, almost fearful...

Anyone think the added pressure could work against Brazil in future games? The refs not giving decisions as they think they'll go the same way as the Japanese ref last night and get slated?

Hasn't scored in his last 8 for them or something I think I heard someone say. Moyes properly ruined him last season with the 5 minutes here and there.

They've not even been hard decisions, disgraceful really especially if Cameroon take the lead which usually happens after something like that.

Makes me laugh how before the World Cup when Sterling was sent off everyone was going on about it being the sort of challenge you get sent off for at the World Cup.

Don't think the refs here got that memo

Unless he's got a twin im certain the linesman from the first half is now the 4th official.
