Great start for Neymar in this WC....

Although, he's gotta be careful since he's got that first yellow card.

3-1

I thought Brazil would win 3-0 though. However, to be honest that game wasn't completely fair, but I couldn't care less now.

This just confirms it for me tho..

Brazil will not win the WC, Croatia will make it out groups and the refs are still as bad as they were 4 years ago.

Cheap penalty, Fred faked the foul. Last World Cup, that same Japanese ref didn't call a penalty for Brazil, then today he calls a foul in favor of Brazil. Smh

Neymar is a beast. When Croatia got the own goal I thought Brazil's morale would go down. Early in the game, down 0-1, home field advantage and tournament opener, I thought Brazil would start to commit more fouls.

What a shame, we didn't deserve that penalty.
Our current team is terrible, there are harder teams than Croatia, the judge won't be able to help us win forever.

BTW....since it's already happened TWICE in this thread....

For the morons who continue to bitch about the fact that Americans and other English speaking countries call this sport "Soccer"....

You might want to do a little history lesson to learn why it is that we call it soccer:

article said:
The interesting thing here is that Brits still used "soccer" regularly for a huge chunk of the 20th century. Between 1960 and 1980, "soccer" and "football" were "almost interchangeable" in Britain, Szymanski found.

"I've watched the scene ten times and it was definitely a penalty"
- Scolari


Well, Brazil not winning the opening match would've been really bad for the overall mood and seeing what's been going on in Brazil this could've been downright disastrous. FIFA obviously really didn't want that...

Anyway, really looking forward to the Spain - Netherlands match tonight.

Yo ref u blind why did you book Lovren, Fred was not pulled back by Lovren he was fouled by gravity, should have booked gravity instead. And yeah even if Neymar gets all the praise Oscar was by far the best player on the pitch. Worked his ass off for the team

Don't underestimate Neymar's work rate. Diving takes a lot of energy.

Fairly certain it is De Guzman, De Jong and Sneijder making up the midfield. So at least not yet.
