World Cup - 2014 Brazil

Croatia were blatantly robbed tonight. Brazil got lucky big time. They'll win the cup with refs helping them.

Plus, Neymar shouldn't have even been on the pitch to score the first Brazil goal. Ref biased in their favour.

Not going to go on a rant, just hope Croatia can get out of the group stage because they deserved a point in that game. Also, those lights going off and then on again leave me worried they will have facility issues throughout the tournament. Hope not though

That's very true - Pletikosa was unlucky not to save that penalty (that shouldn't have been awarded) having got his hands to it as well.

To be honest Pletikosa did not play very well though, although the referee decisions did not help him

I didn't think he was by any means outstanding, but he certainly that bad. I think he dropped as the match went on.

I guess is a perfect start for Neymar because he's the MvP, he scored 2 goals is more then enough.

I wanted Croatia to get at least 1 point, they played good.

Neymar's antics continue to sadden me - that someone who can hit such highs can stoop so low.:confused:

First game today, Mexico - Camerun, I hope for some goals from Chicharito :D
