Poor pen decision, and he should have saved it.

Brazil a tad lucky here IMHO. Not sure thsy've gelled at all well, the Croats were finding it pretty easy to spoil.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Suck **** you dirty ass Croats.

 

[Pothas]

Should have been saved. Still don't rate.

Going to be saying this all tournament?

Was an awful penalty it must be said.

Lol, why?

Nice to see Neymar thanking god after the penalty

Hard to imagine that God played a role in awarding a dodgy decision to the home team but he/she/it apparently works in mysterious ways

 

[GIMH]

Brazil are in debt to the ref it must be said

That pen didn't deserve to be called, but that kind of call does happen in sport. Overall, the Brazilians have played better, which will hurt more for Cro

Errr don't think it will.

Oh gawd it must be the World Cup again, people who don't care about football for 4 years screaming about hellish corruption, and how all the rules need to be changed.

I'll be glad when you all go away again in 4 weeks, no offence, like.

I have it on pretty good authority he's no fan of yours either.

Credit to Brazil as they have actually been pretty entertaining thus far

There's an easy solution

 

[BoyBrumby]

Lol, why?

Aside from the vaguely fascist overtones of the country, histrionics and cynical fouling, you mean?

Well mainly because Slaven Bilic got a little overly lippy and said they were just a better team than England. They weren't; we had Steve McClaren as manager was all. Rarely been happier than when we smashed them twice in the 2010 qualifiers.

 

[grecian]

TBF to that decision, it's never a foul on the 'keeper, but they're always given a foul in every pro-game I watch.

C'mon Croatia, deserve a point here.

 

[Pothas]

Brumby not generally a fan of the small club/nation anyway.

Nah, I quite enjoy taking the piss of the dears of 'em really.

Actually was thinking of starting a "verbals" thread, like the "Under the Lid" one in the Ashes, but then I realised I CBF.

Low blow.

I generally favour the underdog unless its rabid.

Deserved, that
