So I just finished watching the game, wow Brazil is in serious trouble if they don't improve.

Also, surprise surprise the stupid ref completely ruined my 2-1 prediction. That was NOT a penalty.

Common Brazil played well, Croatia has a solid team and the first match of a World Cup is never easy, a lot of nervs involved specially when youre playing on your own country.

My predictions for tomorrow

Cameroon 2 x 2 Mexico

Netherlands 2 x 1 Spain

Chile 3 x 0 Australia.

1- I dont think he shouldve been given even a yellow card he just had his arm there for protection it was more Modrics fault running into his arms than Neymar making a motion to hit him.

2- Neymar gets lucky a lot it seens, cause he scores goals like that all the time...

3- Ye the ref was bad everyone knew he was even before the match started and it was transparent during the match he was buckling under the pression of reffing a game of such importance.

4-No he shouldnt, rules clearly state the player can do whatever the fuck he wants up until he reaches the ball, if during the kick motion he decides to do any time of trick than its not allowed while hes running to the ball he can stop and change speed, do a cartweel or whatever.

5- Brazil unlucky not to score before Croatia scored the first and even more unlucky that Marcelo scored an own goal.

Stop ranting ppl it was a good match, Brazil played better and Croatia has a solid team, enought about the ref, its not the first nor the last time well see refs screwing up in the World Cup its football we know refs are bad.

The penalty was bulshit that much isnt questionable but the denied goal wast a denied goal as the match had been stopped well before Croatia scored and that one was a very clear foul on Julio Cesar so theres nothing wrong there.

Well, since it seems that FIFA has already engraved Brazil on the trophy, and since their next games will be refereed by Stevie Wonder and Daredevil, it is only logical to hope that other matches will have competent referees, and that it will be very interesting battle for the 2nd place.

Anyway, my predictions for today:

Mexico - Cameroon  1:1

Spain - Netherlands  3:0

Chile - Australia  2:0

Today's matches:

Mexico- Cameroon 0-1
Spain-Netherlands 2-3
Chile-Australia 2-0

I agree. Cannot comment much since I know jack shit about the sport.

Wow lots of bitching about the game. Let's bitch about something else instead.
How do we like goal line tech and the free kick spray stuff?
Also Australia, somebody please tell me we at least have some kind of chance against Chile?

I don't care if Neyam is Brazilian or Croatian he deserved to get RED especially if so many in the world saw it and he being an example for many young players....

The match yesterday was full with bullshit and if a Match between two teams that I don't care about already make me so pissed I gave up on watching this tournament. Maybe I was to stupid to believe that this tournament would be different and we could expect more fairplay and good decisions based on the players and not based on how big the country is or how many fans they have... This was my first and last match of the tournament.

Mexico 2-0 Cameroon
Spain 1-1 Netherlands
Chile 3-0 Australia

my god.. how many posts did you guys made for 1 match? I still need to sif through all them to find the predictions..

Indeed more important stuff to worry about then brazil being lucky, I'm curious how the spaniards will handle our team its so different from 4 years ago
