Although I thought Brazil were slightly better overall their defense was very suspect and they were opened up a number of times - a draw would probably have been the most equitable outcome. That dive wasn't even a good dive so it is simply mind boggling the ref fell for it. If that is the precedent set in the first game I am not looking forward to an entire WC of attackers going down like they've been shot in the penalty area.

The Croatian keeper - WTF? A good keeper saves all three of those shots. An average keeper probably gets two of them. My under 10 team's goalie gets probably one of them. I mean, just, ugh...

I thought Neymar had a poor game with giving the ball away constantly in efforts that didn't put the defense under any pressure. His touch was bad and he didn't look that threatening. His two goals were both poorly struck shots (and one was obviously a gift) and should have been saved.

Oscar was by far the MOTM for Brazil. However, I think Modric outclassed everyone in this particular match...just too fast, clever and controlled for the Brazlians to contain. Impressive.

Poor Croatia deserved better.

Going for what you have written, anyone would say Croatia won. Worst analysis ever. Dat Neymar hate.

Just got back from watching the game.
So I guess this is where all the money from building the stadiums went, eh?

I'm a Barca fan and like Neymar....doesn't excuse his poor game though. My description was sort of there to offset the media "NEYMAR MOTM!!!" nonsense going on. Oscar was far better in this one. Neymar was sort of midpack overall for his team.

Man, they really should review penalties in the box. Could be done very quickly...word could be sent down in less time than it takes to set the kick up.

 

[questionmark]

I would just like to chime in and say that I don't blame the referee too much. The problem is the lack of video replays available. Refereeing is hard. Shit like this will continue to happen until the conservative old fucks at FIFA get their heads out of their asses.

Looks like Javier is sitting on the bench for Mexico.

He was poor even by normal football standards, though.

 

[Fularu]

Beyond poor, he definitely helped Brazil win that game. almost never calling their fouls while systematically calling Croatia's

And that penalty call, lol.

thank you man!

Btw, what a shitty way to begin the WC. I am Brazilian, but everything was awful.
I really hope the best team wins, now the most "helped"

And everyone on the world is watching this... bravo Brazil and Dilma.

 

[KidA Seven]

Creepy GAF would be proud.

 

[Horseress]

I don't know the story behind this guy and this scene, but don't put all the blame on the police here. There were some pacific protests, but there were A LOT of people destroying cars, breaking windows of establishments, causing a incredible mess all around and becoming as stupid and as wrong as the people they are protesting against.

How long before WC thread brings down GAF? Final group stage games?

its funny, cause i was lurking the thread.

CREEPY GAF ASSEMBLE!

 

[Horseress]

How long before WC thread brings down GAF? Final group stage games?

Any of the games from the last WC brought GAF down? I can see those Switzerland vs Spain and Uruguay vs Ghana matches breaking GAF servers down

 

[alterno69]

Man if FIFA gives the 2022 World Cup to the US it would be the most amazing thing ever. I could go there with my two kids who by that time will be 10 and 15, i live in Mexico so it would be a no brainer, Brasil was a little too expensive for me at the time.

No need to assemble we are ever-present. But what's our BAT symbol? A picture of Christina Hendricks' left toe?

Thanks for buying your ticket but unfortunately we haven't build your seat yet.

Niger and Nigeria? Meh..same thing.

I think GAF servers might hold up, they survived E3 pretty well with only small downtime I believe.

 

[Big-E]

I appreciate that the frequent funny title changes are back.

 

[Hieberrr]

Thanks for buying your ticket but unfortunately we haven't build your seat yet.

No fucking way.

 

[Salsa]

late, but yeah just bummed to already start the WC with calls like this, what a joke

 

[KingJolly]

I'm worried the stadiums are going to fall apart and kill some spectators

 

[Tegris]

It was fantastic to finally be able to watch a World Cup game again today without the BRRRRRRRRing of vuvuzelas.

 

[PistolGrip]

Funny it says Tactical Force on their sleeve. Nothing tactical about this.

 

[Mission]

Now that I've checked the OP... is there anywhere to replay the opening ceremonies? They were blocked at work. Thank goodness the game wasn't.

 

[silver.tongue]

I'm worried the stadiums are going to fall apart and kill some spectators

If it's of any consolation, todays Stadium is the only one that was not really finished.
The work was stopped twice due to fatal accidents on the construction site.

I had no idea there were missing seats tho...

 

[Lana Del Rey]

First big world cup game comes at day 2

I can't wait

 

[valeo]

I mean, do they really have no gk better than Julio Cesar? Guy wasn't even good enough for QPR ffs

Yes he was; he just cost too much $$

Lol, there's an entire row of unused sits there.

 

[lazorexplosion]

No other professional sport has refereeing this unprofessional.

FIFA is a fucking disgrace and football is a joke.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

The salt in this thread is so funny. That being said the penalty call is bullshit.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

That game sums up why I stopped watching Football years ago. I still like to watch the World Cup but that first game was everything I hate about the sport.

I hope you have a lot of time to waste then buddy.

 

[gutter_trash]

I can´t wait to see Spain crushing the Netherlands tonight.

I got a feeling that both sides will play it safe and draw
