Croatia has been robbed. Fuck off Brazil.

 

[Tubie]

Pack it up everyone else. Brazil is going to win this world cup, whatever and however it takes.

Why doesn't FIFA implement replays

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.

[dr3upmushroom]

this is fucking gross.

 

[Willkiller]

It's not really, he deserves so very much of it.

But he doesn't, I know that some of the shit he's pulled has been embarrassing, but the hate in this thread has been palpable when he's done very little wrong.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Lovren pls

 

[Tekniqs]

This brazil defense need to tighten up for future games

 

[D4Danger]

the worst part is everyone is going to forget this all this and drool over Neymar like he had an incredible game.

 

[Juz]

This fucking ref..

 

[endre]

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.

You are more then likely correct, but my point is there should be some option to dispute ridicoluos calls like this penalty.

 

[Eric WK]

This shit is deflating all of my excitement for the World Cup.

Fucking hell.

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

Highway robbery. Not a good look for the sport.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

That bullshit call, and dive totally killed my excitement and joy for the World Cup, like being in first place in a race, then your engine blows and you retire. Just huge bummer. Fuck these refs. Sucking the joy out of what I've been waiting....ok a fuck this shit....what just happened now??? Why wasn't that a goal? B/c Croatia scored??? What the fuck is going on? What am I watching? Is this even a live sporting event anymore ?

 

[Tugatrix]

Excuse me Brazilian brothers but I feel obligated to root for the underdog

 

[lastflowers]

I'm nearly done with soccer. Refs literally are the worst ever. Fuck goalkeepers and the obsession with protecting them. Tho shit ruins the sport. GKs half the time get away with the worst shit possible.

 

[Carbonox]

Cheating cunts the lot of them.

 

[Sviatoslav]

Is a J-league ref really good enough to handle world cup matches?

 

[Wes]

What a ball by Srna.

 

[FootballFan]

That was a foul imo. Clearly stopped cesar from getting to the ball(incorrectly)

 

[golem]

Disgusting

 

[Suen]

Wtf is going on. Croatia pls.

 

[Envelope]

Brazil with twelve players on the pitch

 

[Oozer3993]

The ref is so gonna be assigned to the USA v Ghana game. He's gonna screw the US next.

 

[gutter_trash]

cue dat Sarah Silverman gif

 

[Nuklear]

If you're a Brazil fan I don't know how you can be happy with a win like this. I would be so embarrassed as a country that the FIFA has to stoop to this level so you can win a match.

 

[keit4]

Yeah, it was a foul.

 

[Mr.Marston]

Croatia ;_;

 

[Ensirius]

Brasil was pathetic, terrible game, Neymar's goal was a terrible mistake by goalkeeper, and that penalty is just non existent.

 

[neorej]

So who will Brazil face in the finals?

 

[CrunchyB]

Ugh, just end the game already. We all know Brazil was gifted this victory by the powers that be.

 

[Filaipus]

ESPN announcers kind of "suck" because they don't have anyone in the stadium, it's all television. That means they don't know who claimed the fault (the refere or the side guy), which makes a big difference.


GOGOGO CROATIA!

 

[Blablurn]

I want Gustavos Babies :3

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Brazil are not winning this world cup, it's clear they don't have the ability now.

 

[Walshy]

One of the worst refereeing performances i've seen on the international stage.

 

[cripterion]

Refs making so many mistakes, brazilians pretending to be hurt, football indeed. If this is the tone they're setting for this World Cup, FIFA can fuck right off.

 

[dark_prinny]

OMG I know that feel Croatia. I know that feel.

 

[Captain Smoker]

lol come on fuck this

 

[yuraya]

lol Croatians around the world must be having a good day.

 

[Oersted]

I know it's the first game but Brazil don't look very good, they'll have to be very lucky to win the whole thing.

Fifa will take care

 

[Sickboy007]

Croatia has been robbed. Fuck off Brazil.

What the fuck is up with your avatar?

 

[M3d10n]

Croatia deserves 2-2, c'mon.

 

[Wilbur]

This shit is deflating all of my excitement for the World Cup.

Fucking hell.

Makes it even more exciting. Dat drama and talking points.

63 games left after this one lads.

 

[Killer]

Croatia obviously didn't read the script.

I loled

 

[Massa]

So who will Brazil face in the finals?

GAF's salty tears.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Itt

Salty Americans some of which decided to just show up today

 

[Konosuke]

Push up time!

 

[Carbonox]

YES MOYES clatter that tash-face troglodyte.

 

[JABEE]

Two awful game-changing calls

 

[Tekniqs]

the hyperbole in this thread is amazing. Will it ramp up even more as we get deeper into the tournament?
edit: did gustavo kick that guy in the gooch?
