1-1 now....

The Croatian shirts always remind me of Roger the Dodger

But it didn't last long!

 

Isn't football funny, Neymar could have been sent off earlier and then score with a scuffed shot.

 

When you watch the replay, Neymar's eyes are definitely on the Croatian player not the ball when he leads with his arm.

 

Hulk - Named like the character and built like the character

His real name ( like most of the Brazilians) was probably too long for his shirt 

I have five poond on Olic to score anytime.

There's only one Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior

One Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior

There's only one Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior

 

I wonder who will produce the worst goal celebration of the tournament?

We used to sing "one jan agge fyoertoft!"

That was funny - Croatian player piddling around with ball trying little tricks and gets it nicked off him.

Jan Åge Fjørtoft was at Barnsley and Sheff Utd was he not?

Made his name over here with Swindon as a prolific goalscorer - i don't think he delivered for 'boro and was quickly moved on.

 

Just realised Childs has Croatian links.

 

Get up Oscar, your making far too much of that challenge. Pffft

It sounds like every Croatian players name ends in "itch".

I joined a World Cup sweep stake on twitter. It was £5 to join through just giving, all the money going to alzheimers research. I got Croatia. 

It's the heat!

I wholeheartedly applaud your choice of charity and my your selection prove fruitful

 

Why do the Brazilians have to make so much of fouls against them. Marcello holding his face in a way which is so exaggerated.

The charity all the money was going to, is what made me join in. Do you remember Trevor & Simon from Saturday morning TV, one of their bits was the singing corner. Well it's Simon who has done this sweep.

Yes I do remember them.

I think I may get a tad fed up of this Brazilian play acting.

 

Soft, soft penalty.

 

*investigates referee's bank account*

 

Keeper nearly saves it too.

 

I would be surprised.

Very poor officials.

 

I do feel this ref is a little biased toward the Brazilians.

It's funny, the Croatians are getting into Brazil a bit more and the Brazilians are not that tight at the back. Wish they had done it a bit earlier.

I think it shows Brazil are beatable. It will be interesting to see the odds after this game .

When they come up against a better team it may not be so easy for them, unless they have another ref in their pocket.

Bugger!

 

I don't think the Croatians deserve that.

I'm still confident that a better European team will beat them. They look liable to panic at the back.

Although they do win the twatty haircut completion so far.

 

That's my thoughts too GJ. I too think a better European team will do what Croatia could not manage. Bit more possession and attacking and Brazil will concede.

I hope so!

So glad they are using the term cheat. You can imagine them getting away with this sort of thing in the Championship, but not at the supposed blue riband event.
