MATCH THREAD - Brazil 3 vs Croatia 1 -Opening Ceremony Reaction - LIVE FROM 7PM - Thursday 12th June

[Fedlingen]

The referee is quite clearly a [Poor language removed]...

 

[Kiwi]

tit he won the ball there no foul

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

Absolute Collina of a refereeing performance.

 

[Mozza1987]

Never a foul that! May as well give Brazil the trophy with how many decisions they have got in this game. Joke!

 

[kenada_blue]

Barkley could defo do what Neymar does for Brazil.

But thats too dangerous for England. So we'll throw Henderson in.

 

[IllinoisBlue]

ref is not gonna let Croatia get anything out of this game. Maybe FIFA are scared that if Brazil are knocked out the riots will prevent the WC from completing.

 

[obc]

Croatia needs a Rooney. Not to even it up, just to stomp someone's yarbles if the diving continues.

 

[kenada_blue]

Brazil are very average, can see a Germany, spain tearing these guys a new one.

Not if Blatter says otherwise

 

[davek]

I blame Qatar.

 

[LinekersLegs]

So close

 

[L4Everton]

So the fix was in huh?
Absolute certainty the very angry masses wont set fire to the stadiums they've built.

Poor game, poor referee decisions, poor tournament opener, poor co favourites, poor Brazil.

I envy those that have avoided this fiasco this evening. Blatter will be laughing all the way to the bank.

 

[toffee matt]

I don't usually like conspiracy theories. But....

South Korea v Spain 2002

Comes to mind here

 

[USABlue]

Thought similar.

 

[Bend it like Hibbert]

Croatia needs a Rooney. Not to even it up, just to stomp someone's yarbles if the diving continues.

Mandzukic. Banned for this game suitably.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

I'd be livid if I was a Croatia fan. One completely unfair peno, and a goal wrongly ruled out.
