That's just part of it, a ripple in the big picture. Many Brazilians are actually taking opportunity of the international spotlight to protest against the federal government for more economic / social reforms, human rights etc. etc. [01] [02].

Think this is the only time they able to get others attention to save them?

Have they ever won the cup on homeland? The odds are high for them to win given the pressure. Germany has been one of the most consistent team. On paper, it is Spain but I want to belief it will be a South American team.

The last time Brazil hosted in 1950, it suffered a humiliating defeat 2-1 at the hands of the the Uruguayans during the decisive match of the final group stage at Rio de Janeiro's Maracanã stadium. Something that still haunts many Brazilian legends such as Pelé till this day.

That penalty kick given at 70' to Brazil is really obvious, just a light touch and it's considered a foul?

Edit (Final Score):

Oscar (#11) @ 90' + 1'
Brazil Vs. Croatia (3 – 1)

Another kelong. It's a shame for Croatia really, they played well as compared to the mediocre standards displayed by the Brazilians.

Anyone else also saw the Japanese referee getting affectionated "buddy, buddy" style with Neymar when he gets substituted?

Bloody referee, hope you choke on the darm whistle the next time you blow it and Hulk have to come do Heimlich maneuver on you.

 

[undergrd]

I think Brazil's first and third goal are well striked but the penalty is too controversial. Abit kayu on that decision.

 

[donut88]

Kelong match

Most ppl will bet 2 goals to win. Bookies make it 3 goals so that they makan the $$.

Who will expect Brazil to win 3-0 in first match?

 

[Shizuma]

The Brazilians go down too easily.

They would have fallen over waiting to get aboard the bus during rush hour lor. One aunty with a plastic bag full of vege just give any Brazil player a bump, he'll fall to the ground like he's been hit by the bus itself. :nono: :nono: :nono:

It's 3-1 World Cup don't think bookie will give 3 balls leh. Most is 1.5-2 ball some more Croatia is a good team. The crucial 3rd goal there is a foul on the Croatia player at mid field before they score from the counter attack, again referee kelong. Football a lot of kelong one lah see how Qatar with 42deg C in summer can host the World Cup. Remember how France the host country beat Brazil in the final ? Most host country in modern history didn't win their opening match.

The most bookie give only 0.5 to 1 ball only. They won't give alot for World Cup.

So this match, they makan everyone
