I do hope they will send this crappy referee back home, as soon as the match is over !
Give me a break. We'll see a lot of referee mistakes in most of the games. I saw too many editions of WC to know it happens all the time. Esp when the referees come from exotic countries.
Final apotheosis. :p
Oscar deserved a goal as he was probably the best player of the match.
- Brazil penalty was never a penalty and the Ref was almost wetting himself desperate to give it.
- Croatia's goals was ruled by the Ref desperate to rule it out for something.
-There was a foul on a Croatian player before the 3rd goal.
FIFA want Brazil to win apparently.
The match has been decided by that penalty. Until then, Croatia played a good game and didn't deserve to lose !
The ref was clearly on a mission.
Apart from this, Brazil was not the team I expected to see.
Overrated imho.
I think Oscar was the best player overall, too. They won't win the World Cup playing like that. Mexico always plays Brazil really well, they may be primed for an upset.
Croatia deserved to lose as it. wasn't able to score a goal.
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:

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.

Naaahhhhh....
Espana '82 is now history. :laugh:
All the sports/competitions I follow (particular football/soccer leagues/tournaments, Australian football and Rugby league, and NFL) It's been a long, looong time since a refereeing decision had ****** me off as much as that penalty this morning. It completely spoilt a great time that was the opening game of a WC.
In hindsight, if that penalty hadn't been converted, Brazil most likely wouldn't have got the third goal.
I am more scared by Argentina and Spain, or even Uruguay...so bring them on ! :D
You make me remember that song "''ma come bella l'italia 90 ci sono tutti i campioni del mondo ce l'argentina di diego maradona ma non ci fa paura zenga lo fermera, etc. etc. '' Still sing it under the shower..... :laugh:
I am not saying Italy will win the Cup, I am just not impressed by Brazil, and to be honest, very tired of the hype around them made by fans, media, and FIFA...
That's weird. I think italian fans and media are all time champions when it comes to hype....:devil:
Anyway, good luck to all the teams involved in this WC. It's just the beginning and the referees will continue to play with our nerves.
...and you will play devil, against me ! ;)
Noooooo...........................
I can be either :angel: or :devil:
Forza azzurri! .........:kiss: :wave:
I'm glad I went to bed at half-time. That referee shouldn't be sent home. He should be sent to jail.
I´m afraid that germany will win the cup, not that I mind though.
I thought you were a Ferrari fan :p:Quote:

(why am I saying these? I used to hate this team.... ):confused:
