retarded match was retarded

BTW I think it's the ref behind the goal who called the penalty. Not sure though.

Nope. The goal disallowed was by the ref behind the goal.

Does it really matter that match was a piece of shit.

Wait they have goalline cameras and refs behind the goal?

Good opening match. I like that Croatia always has the confidence to play regardless of how strong their squad is. Unlike so many other teams.

Disgusting

seriously, what a joke... and Asian referee for such important match/competition? That's just... no.

 

[Yamen]

Julio Cesar still got it though.. amazing saves and great positioning..

 

[TrezJuve]

Yuichi Nishimura is the name, folks.

Ffs, I have to get up in 4 hours and 30 minutes.

I thought he looked shaky.

Olic MVP for me, he done everything in the match. Tackles, pressing, cross for the owngoal. Also, Croatia was very good, Rakitic and Modric are a great combination but they need a real defensive midfielder with them. With Mandzukic they would be better, Jelavic is tragic man.
I can say that i'm not impressed with that Brazil. They have a real problem in the center, except Oscar nobody can create game, long passes etc. Also, they based on Neymar form and when he will be bad, they will pay that. Anyway, in that stage is obvious that Brazil will be in the next with Croatia.

The wikipedia of the ref

Nishimura was also chosen by FIFA to referee the opening game of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. [5] FIFA immediately regretted their decision to select him after he awarded Brazil a penalty for literally no reason whatsoever that changed the course of the game. Croats burned effigies of Nishimura in the streets of Zagreb.

I'd say not to sleep at all but you'd be dead after work considering long hours.

Foul on the build up

The goalie f'ed up. With his defender obscuring the far post, he didn't do enough to close down his near post.

There was a hand on his shoulder, but that was it. Softer than Fat Ronaldo's deck in a room full of naked women.

I'm too old to not sleep at all.

 

[acmilan]

typical Neymar PK. shit like this should be expected given the circumstances, tbh.
Had the game to end in a draw or a narrow Croatia win. Probably would have if not for that call.

Wouldn't start underestimating Brazil just yet - this was always gonna be a tricky game for them from an emotional/mental standpoint. They are yet to show their true colors, as far as I am concerned.

The ref was terrible, no doubt...but huh?

 

[Dostoevsky]

He indeed was shaky. He was not confident and for some easy saves he threw himself like a nuclear bomb exploded under his feet.

C'mon, he's in Canada and even there in 7 matches he conceded 9 goals ffs.
