Brazil - Croatia match thread

How can you slag the ref, if the players would stop trying to cheat at every opportunity then their jobs would be a whole lot easier and they would make less mistakes.

Why are Brazilians pointing to the sky when they won the penalty, it wasn't God that won it for them, it was a cheating footballer.

He jumped for a header. How can you do that without touching the opposing player.

Do they still not have referees behind the goal at this World Cup? FIFA really are useless.

I really hope Croatia equalize. Horrible watching a game and seeing decisions favoring one team.

DildoFaggins · 12-06-2014 10:47pm

Neymar didn't mean that elbow hes just an innocent boy:D

Decisions are an absolute shambles.... It has completely wrecked the game.

Even in a world were you cant touch the keeper that wouldn't be a foul.

If anything the keeper should have less protection than an outfield player to balance the advantage of being able to use his hands.

Course you can touch the keeper?

Keepers always get special treatment. You can't go near them. Every ref in the world would call it a foul because he hit his shoulder.

Well Every ref would be wrong so.

Neymars was never a red. Not sure where all the Brazilian hate is coming from. Ref has been poor, was never a pen. It's not Brazils fault. Oscar has been excellent

It seems like it's something FAs and FIFA are happy to keep ambiguous.

comongethappy · 12-06-2014 10:49pm

Croatia much more comfortable on the ball than Brazil.

Agueroooo · 12-06-2014 10:49pm

Lovren has been excellent.

Witcher · 12-06-2014 10:50pm

No need they have goal line technology

Adamocovic · 12-06-2014 10:50pm

peach of a goal

Hazys · 12-06-2014 10:50pm

Keeper misjudged the ball and only got his finger tips to it. Olic timed it perfectly.

If anything the keeper touched Olic.

I don't blamed the refs or linesmen they're usually 20 ft or more away from play doing their best, they need more help like replay
