Stuck my free bet on neymar first goal scorer.

Washington Irving

Decent start. Good chance for Olic there

naughto

Cro to score 1st

Hope there's an early goal for Brazil. Want to see the crowd go ballistic!

Darkglasses

Good start, nice and open, both teams buzzing.

IvySlayer

Book Luiz and Jelavic there sort that **** out early

Haha great, I can't stand Marcello.

Mars Bar

Oh well that's not how the script was written!

Kylo Ren

Do we post here? or perhaps in the 'World Cup 2014 Group A' thread or what about the 'World Cup 2014 Super Thread'????

Oh God.

Darkglasses

hA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Croatia already looking a bit cooked it must be said - mind you Olic always looks like that.

First goal of the World cup is an own goal.

Adamocovic

Well Croatia didn't read the script

Panthro

Tis game on now.

Kirby

Marcelo puts the ball into his own net. "can do nothing about it. David Luiz at fault". Townsend..........

Bloody pundits. Agenda full speed ahead!

Is the RTE commentary slightly out of sync? Sounded like George screamed OG a split second before the ball went in... maybe just in my head?

Andersonisgod

There is the weakness. When this Brazil side have to break teams down they do tend to overcommit and their reactive defending does leave something to be desired, as a result they will give up chances in the space they vacate.

Look at the players Croatia have.

Not exactly a shock imo.

Felexicon

It was great ball in to the corridor of uncertainty

Sideshow Mark

Awful by David Luiz, Mourinho must be laughing his hole off at that.

Mars Bar

I wonder did anyone have o.g as the first goalscorer?

Son Of A Vidic

As soon as I mentioned my love of Brazil in the other thread, the goal happened.:(

naughto

I have all the threads open some amount of emails I am getting g

mike65

I see the RTE clock is sponsored by Hyundai

Vicxas

Not surprised by that at all. Brazil at the back are muck.

double GG

Oscar has looked very poor in the opening 10 minutes, that's 3 or 4 times he has given the ball away with Dani Alves high up the pitch.

EDIT: and then he whips in a ball like that

Not exactly a shock aye, but so much emphasis has been put on this Brazil team and how it's "their year". Media all talking about Neymar, Hulk and Brazil and then Croatia get the first goal, an own goal mind you but still , crowd very quiet now!

blueser

Luiz proving once again that he isn't a defender. Too slow reading the danger there. Let Jelavic get in front of him at the near post. Poor.

Might be a bad night for some Argentinian bookmakers?

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Alves certainly seems like the weak link here.

tayto lover

Do the bookies regard own goals in the first goalscorer bets or are the bets still running?

I noticed the same problem during the last World Cup, I found RTE sound to be pretty poor. Yet a quick flick over to the BBC and the sound was perfect.

Why can't they sort this **** out, seriously? It seems to happen every match.

The ESPN stream stateside is class - as the livestream buffer rolls it leaves tickmarks on the time slider showing you where on-target attempts were and which side did them
