Half Time

Brazil 1- 1 Croatia

Big scare for Brazil.
That own goal really rattled them but they came back strongly and equalised through Neymar, who else...

Interesting second half on the way.

3-1 for Brazil.

And some talking points to say the least.

Dodgy penalty. Then the keeper gets TWO strong hands on the ball but only helps it on its way.

Croatia a tad unlucky, didn't deserve to win but I thought defended well enough for a point.

Brazil seemed a little below par for a team touted to win the whole thing. Time will tell.

Great to have the World Cup here again :)

Although brazil was the better team i dont feel they deserved the win.

A miss kick and then a dodgey pen put them 2-1 up with some decisions going their way that perhaps should not have.

Great game though

The nerve of drop dead fred to drop like a sack of shit for the penalty, then cross himself and point to the sky when it was given.

Brazil playing speculative long balls and hacking their opponents out of the game, I don't want to live in this sort of world

Anyone been to a Vegas casino? They pump the rooms full of oxygen so people don't get tired. Might help :)

Colombia 1-0 Greece

Half Time

And early goal shocked the Hellenes but they are still in this.
