This is an honest question. Why did you expect Brazil to be better? Reputation of the past or seeing them win the Confed Cup?Quote:

I like Argentina, France, Germany and Spain to be as good if not better.
For God's sake, it was just the first match and we know that 2 games aren't alike.
Let's be happy the opening match was quite entertaining ( despite me falling asleep at the beginning of the second half :p) and not the usual dull of other editions.
Yes, let's move on and look forward for tomorrow's revenge between Holland and Spain. And let's hope my countryman Rizzoli, doesn't ruin such a great match !
None of the above :p:Quote:

So I had higher expectations.
OK.
I was wondering how long it would take for the first dubious penalty to be awarded in this World Cup and already we have an answer... 71 minutes.
The fact that such an obvious dive could be seen by everyone in the world except the referee is typical of an organisation who answers to no-one and awards World Cups on the basis of bribery to countries with names that sound like musical instruments.
as usual silly refs in big games...nothing new.
Brasil played decent stuff though, Neymar and Oscar especially.. Hulk was a passenger
They where gifted the win from the referee. And I expected moore from the team.
