Oscar to Luis. Take notes mou

"slightconfuse"

Did you miss the memo?

 

[SliceSabre]

As much as I want Brazil to win, not like this yo.

 

[Carbonox]

I fucking love Modric. So silky.

 

[Showaddy]

Brazil's performance really isn't that surprising tbh, a lot of their key players have been really out of form at club level since the confederations.

 

[ComputerBlue]

game ruined

FIFA pls.

They'll never learn.

 

[neorej]

Niko Kovac looks like a bond villain

 

[Scum]

Who does the Croatian left back play for? Been impressed with him.

Why you at, Sviat?

 

[endre]

I wish there was a challenge system implemented like in american football.

 

[John Dunbar]

on the bright side i have neymar as my fantasy team captain, so points points.

 

[Meier]

Fucking hell what a cross that was. Easy to forget how good a player Oscar is.

He and Modric have been a level above everyone today.

 

[criesofthepast]

Luiz afro fucked things up there. Just slid off his fro. If he cut his hair it would have been on net.

 

[nacimento]

Yeeessss, awesome 2:1!!!! Even if by an oscar-worthy performance!!!

 

[KingJolly]

They'll never learn.

Don't worry it'll be better in Qatar

 

[OgaKratos]

I deduce that there has been some controversial decisions by the ref.

 

[NoTacos]

Oscar's stock just went up with this one match. i wonder if he'll be able to keep it up.

 

[survivor]

I wish Neymar would have learned how to pass from Messi

 

[markao]

Football is such a troll sport sometimes.

And that's the only good thing about not having a video ref


still unbelievable they do not use one in these days with all the tech available

 

[pappe]

Oscar should be man of the match but it'll probably go to Neymar.

I was gonna post that right now. His crossing has been flawless.

The ref bottled it today. Sad for Croatia.

 

[Clegg]

Croatia are decent but aren't a top class side. Brazil will need to improve a hell of a lot if they're to win the WC. And Neymar will have to actually impose himself on a game. Not been impressed by him this evening.

 

[Kurt Angle]

hope anyone but Brazil wins this cup

fucking crooks

 

[Acorn]

I still hate Korea for their cheating bullshit.

 

[Scum]

Neymar, pls.

 

[Arksy]

Next game is with Mexico in over 12 hours right?

 

[CrunchyB]

You know, we can all remove Brazil right now from winning the world cup, if they play like this against a big team, they lose big time.

Yeah, I'm thoroughly unimpressed. If The Netherlands make it to the next round vs. Brazil, I now think we have a good chance of beating them.

 

[Wilbur]

He and Modric have been a level above everyone today.

Absolutely. Both Croatian full backs have been good too.

 

[FuturusX]

I wish there was a challenge system implemented like in american football.

fuck no.

 

[Jamie OD]

Lol at this sport not using replay for that in 2014

FIFA more or less admits the controversies resulting from not using replays are worth it. They would rather have the public talking about the mistakes instead of stopping the game for a few minutes so the officials can see the replay.

 

[Konosuke]

LOLMAR get out of that pitch.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Luiz afro fucked things up there. Just slid off his fro. If he cut his hair it would have been on net.

Yeah but

 

[dark_prinny]

Did Neymar went to Brazilian Actors Studio?

 

[Chris R]

The diving continues

 

[Envelope]

Dive harder

 

[clemenx]

Time for robot refs.

 

[Firemind]

Croatia are decent but aren't a top class side. Brazil will need to improve a hell of a lot if they're to win the WC. And Neymar will have to actually impose himself on a game. Not been impressed by him this evening.

They don't have to play well to win the WC with this quality refereeing.

 

[NoTacos]

I wish Neymar would have learned how to pass from Messi

boom. He's had like 3 or 4 break aways this match but can't get the assist right.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Next game is with Mexico in over 12 hours right?

12PM EST Friday.

 

[Cat Party]

I wish there was a challenge system implemented like in american football.

I'm not aware of any sport that allows challenges of calls like that. You can't challenge pass interference or similar penalties in American football.

 

[dark_prinny]

I still hate Korea for their cheating bullshit.

NEVER FORGET.

 

[Acorn]

Absolutely. Both Croatian full backs have been good too.

Srna is a great player, I don't know why he never got a big move

 

[OgaKratos]

Time for robot refs.

Even worse.

 

[kingkitty]

At this point, I'm hoping Neymar scores a few more goals to help out my fantasy team.

 

[Blablurn]

I'm not sure what you guys are doing after this game but I'm going to play Destiny :3

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

FIFA more or less admits the controversies resulting from not using replays are worth it. They would rather have the public talking about the mistakes instead of stopping the game for a few minutes so the officials can see the replay.

Yes, few minutes, let's keep talking as if it's 1980.

 

[MrJustinius]

You know, we can all remove Brazil right now from winning the world cup, if they play like this against a big team, they lose big time.

They'll get better as the tournament goes on. Spain won in 2010 after losing against Switzerland in Game 1.

Still though, hate these bullshit host-favouring decisions. Should still be 1-1.

 

[cdyhybrid]

NBA fines floppers and even crotchety-old-ass baseball uses replay now.

It's 2014. FIFA pls

 

[Portugeezer]

People talked so much about crime on the streets of Brazil, we forgot about the robbery on the pitch. Joke referee.

 

[Gurthang]

Did Neymar went to Brazilian Actors Studio?

No he went to the catalan academy of arts

 

[Willkiller]

Did Neymar went to Brazilian Actors Studio?

How much football have you played? It hurts quite a bit when you take a stud to the top of the foot. The Neymar hate is utterly ridiculous.

 

[SliceSabre]

I want Brazil to stop playing like they are destined to get the World Cup rather than actually fighting for it.

 

[CelticKnight]

I'm not aware of any sport that allows challenges of calls like that. You can't challenge pass interference or similar penalties in American football.

Sepp Blatter wants to propose a challenge system if he got re-elected next year, which probably ain't gonna happen now.

Edit for quote: p

"Blatter also caught world football's ruling body by surprise on Wednesday by proposing a new television review system that would go well beyond the goal-line technology already being used in some countries.

He suggested that a manager or coach could be allowed to challenge up to two refereeing decisions in a game.

"If a manager disagrees with a decision, he could ask for an immediate television review with the referee," said Blatter. "It's something new."

Any such plan would need to be approved by the International Football Association Board."
