Ah I wouldn't say it was slipping from their grip, Brazil always looked like they were going to get a goal, was just a question of when. Neymar does have a lot of expectations on him but he seems like the sort of player who thrives off it.

Have Fred or Hulk touched the ball prior to that move?

A great opening half an hour, equalizer was a bit poxy though.

T Silva to score anytime 9/1 :P

Because he mis-hit the ball and scored?

Still plenty on this for Croatia. Brazil very open at the back.

Sloppy play from Srna

Moneymaker

How in the fuuck have so many clubs actually paid money for Hulk?

I've never seen him play well in about 4-5 years now.

Jaysus I forgot Fred was playing. Would they not be better off sticking Hulk up front and putting Willian on?

Scolari wouldn't be out of place on the sidelines of a hurling match.

New GLT is very impressive.

1-1 32mins all Brazil now

Wouldn't say it's all Brazil. Edging it slightly but Croatia still look a threat.

Is hulk named after the green guy or the lad with the yellow under pants

Was surprised they brought Hulk ahead of Lucas Moura.

Yes but, now watch him thunder one into the roof of the net in a minute. That's what he's like.

Adamocovic

Nedved hasn't been in this game at all yet, hopefully has a better second half.

Good goal, but Brazil celebrations a bit OTT?

Eh, it's Brazil, the home of Carnival, samba central. Should we expect anything less?

Unfortunately being a self confessed fan of Luiz and Neymar, I don't quite fit the narrative they and other UK stations are building.

Adamocovic

Surprised Neymar is able to stand after that tackle

Kirby

Neymar really does love a good dive, doesn't he? Talk about a pires leg.

It's just a shame that Chelsea didn't end up signing him when it looked like at one stage they would for a ridiculous fee.

Lol at the spray paint

murpho999

Can't wait to see the ref confuse Colombian team with that spray can!

Using the word 'narrative' should make you a shoe-in though.

It's one of FIFA's new high tech plans, that and goal line technology, who knows whats next! I'm hoping lights on boots to show if they are on a yellow or red card!

His agent is a snake.. you think your signing Lou Ferrigno but the agent pulls a fast one and you end up with some Brazilian chap.
