Off to try Destiny Alpha is it. Nice to share this first match with you guys.


MAÑANA JUEGA LA ROJA!

VAMOS ESPAÑAAAA!

Netherlands will be looking for blood, tough.

:lol

The Oranje will crush you.

 

[jabuseika]

Oscar is by far Brazil's best player.

 

[neorej]

Overall a deserved win. Brasil owned the first half. Too bad they needed the help from the ref to achieve it.

 

[Sykra]

except it wasn't...he clearly got the ball first

It wasn't a foul on the 3rd goal, but everything before that, so bad.

 

[cripterion]

Damn if I was Croatia I would give no handshakes, fuck that game, they were robbed. They do need a new goalkeeper though, yikes!

 

[schlongdog]

The ref has had a very poor game, but some of the hyperbole in this thread....

FIX! FIX! FIX!

Quite ridiculous really.

 

[inky]

This is where I gloat about how I called this shit.



Pfff, Paul the Octopus my ass.

 

[DominoKid]

Great win for Brazil and great start to the tournament!

Spain/Netherlands tomorrow should be fun.

 

[Wind's Howling]

Brazil has to win. They can not lose or draw in this one. There is too much at stake for the country. All hell would have broken loose.

 

[CelticKnight]

3-1 to Brazil

Nailed it.

And won money on Neymar being 1st goal scorer, too. All in all a good night.

 

[Probity]

This game started so fun and just became such a mess.

This had better not continue, that refereeing was disgusting.

 

[DukeBobby]

Well, that second half was unpleasant to watch.

It's a shame because the first half was great.

 

[Symax]

Brazil names game's MVP.

10/10 would foul again

 

[Wilbur]

Enjoyed that. First half had good football, second had drama and contentious decisions.

Only 63 matches left. It's all gonna be over soon. God I missed the World Cup.

Oscar and Modric a step above everyone on the pitch.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

More hyperbole here than in the gaming section. Clear foul in the croatisn disallowed goal

It is kind of like following e3 live threads.

 

[keit4]

I feel bad for Croatia. Not just for the robbery, also because they will have to play against us in the next round :/

 

[alba]

GG, I hated that penalty... Glad we pulled through and I'm hoping for better officiating in the upcoming games, yeesh.

 

[Juz]

First half was some great football but the second was some straight up bullshit.

 

[PoemOfTheLastMoment]

Neymar delivered, that is all.

 

[LNBL]

except it wasn't...looks like he got the ball first

No he did not, rewatch the GIF on this page.

 

[Envelope]

INJUSTICA

 

[Juicy Bob]

Good to see Brazil win at home, but wasn't really very impressed with how they went about it at times. Oh well.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

Ha, announcers are calling the penalty "Un regalo del refree" gift from the ref.

 

[gashikunFLCL]

Croatian Goalkepper was rigged. Didn't even try to defend.

 

[Willkiller]

As the current champion of the GAF prediction league, I'm happy, I guessed 3-1.

and £70 quid up from tonight's events.

Thanks ref, thanks Neymar, thanks Fry.

 

[Azuran]

lol, that was the almighty Brazil?

 

[norinrad]

Ref is gonna commit suicide soon

 

[Firemind]

Football folks

 

[denx]

That was probably the best opening match for a World Cup I've ever seen. Too bad about Croatia getting fucked by the ref tho.

 

[Randdalf]

Keeper should have saved all three goals and penalty was dubious. I'm not sure Brazil deserved that, Croatia were definitely on top until the penalty decision. Oscar was magnificent, but sadly Neymar will get all the headlines.

 

[RdN]

Final score in no way represents what the game was..

I insist that this World Cup is already bought for Brazil, specially with the shit storm it would create in the country if the team were to lose, with all the negative negative response to the WC from the population, and this game corroborated for that opinion.

 

[Scum]

I honestly believe France can go all the way to a finale this time around, they have looked good and seems to be getting rid of their biggest most useless cunts like Nasri.

Ribery's injury is a fucking blessing! Grizzlymann will cost as much as £50m after this tourny.

 

[NaturalHigh]

I know France won't be able to play them but I would love it if they could smoke the Brazilian team.

Just got home from work. What did the refs do that everyone is going on about?

 

[Oersted]

Brasil wasn't that impressive but Croatia didn't actually do anything to deserve a win. All the goals were scored by Brasil, hahaha.

Pretty much. Brazil deserve it better next time

 

[Good Job Bob]

Croatia are clearly the deserved losers. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯.

 

[Konosuke]

Nailed it.

And won money on Neymar being 1st goal scorer, too. All in all a good night.

Debatable.

 

[GQman2121]

They'll change things for the next game. They have too. Mexico and Cameron can beat this Brazil side we watched tonight.

 

[diehard]

I tried watching this game, world.

I just can't do it. Guys flailing around all over.. its like the very worst of the NBA, except all game long.. from every player.

 

[Jimrpg]

Judging by this performance I can't see them getting any further than the last 16, that's both Croatia and Brazil.

Was a warmup for Brazil.

 

[Pimpwerx]

You really can't count it like that. That third goal would not have happened without that bullshit second goal.

First goal shouldn't have happened either. Croatia should've won, but didn't. Them's the breaks. PEACE.

 

[CaseyTappy]

Don Seppeone was pulling the strings !

 

[Nuklear]

ESPN so committed to the World Cup they are trying to get away quickly as possible so they can show golf. lol

 

[Acorn]

FIFA need to be destroyed. Such a corrupt bullshit organisation.

 

[akaoni]

They have the technology to see diving but don't go to an official to make game winning decisions, it's making the sport embarrassing to watch far too often.

 

[Cindres]

Well, at least I got my prediction.

 

[Tekniqs]

It wasn't a foul on the 3rd goal, but everything before that, so bad.

the penalty was a shit call. the foul on the keeper was legit though. People crying foul over that shit as well when it was a legit call.

 

[Tugatrix]

This is where I gloat about how I called this shit.



Pfff, Paul the Octopus my ass.

hmm WC Racoon

 

[Enosh]

We got robbed...
Fucking criminal association.

I feel bad for our southern neighbors

 

[Ingeniero]

3-1 Like I said.
Perfect.

 

[Ruruja]

IT'S ALMOST TIME, AAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Brazil 3-1 Croatia.

If only I was a betting man.
