World Cup Group A - Brazil, Cameroon, Croatia, Mexico

[Nezza]

Pffft. Whatever.

He's got a **** haircut too

He looks like a right gypsy (no offence to an gypsys).

On the plus side, better they get all the dodgy refereeing out the way in the group stages.

Anyone else already hate Brazil?!

Thought Modric was as class as always.

 

[Enzo Francescoli]

Pretty sure there was a foul before Oscar got the ball for the third.
Absolute disgrace of a refereeing performance. A joke.

 

[Enzo Francescoli]

Anyone else already hate Brazil?!
Yep.

Thought Modric was as class as always.

Yep.

First thing this world cup has done is remind me just how much I dislike Neymar. He's a divey, cheatey little ****er - wouldn't be out of place in the Argentina or Chelsea teams.

The swear filter made me look twice there!!

Poor from the ref tonight IMO.

 

[Roy1983]

Which is no surprise for anyone, and why there should have been an experienced, English/German/Italian referee for this game.

What's the nationality got to do with the refs ability?

4 years of build up

First game ruined by the officials

I expect to see 20 more games decided by the officials on tight decisions

Whoopee!

What can be done? Seems video replays of some sort is the only option - can say 'referees need to do better' as much as we like, but the fact that bad decisions constantly happen logically suggests that it's just very hard to always make the right decision.

Croatia keeper was bought. No doubt about it in my mind.

Was thinking that myself. He should have saved at least 2 of those goals. In fact, pick any 2 of 3 and he should have saved them.

What makes you so certain?

No he really is sh!t

Beer mostly but all three goals were fairly **** keeping. Ref was in on it too and Blatter.

 

[Yossarian]

No he really is sh!t

Ex Spurs! Thankfully.

Croatia keeper was bought. No doubt about it in my mind.

He could have saved all three goals. Not bought, just **** imo. The pen bounced off his hands onto his head. And he could have got down quicker to save both shots.

Croatia should go through to the next stage. Amazing quality for such a little country. Their whole population is about half that of Londons!

What like Webb who has been on Utd's payroll for years? He is just as bent as the Jap ref from tonight

As if the experienced European refs don't make mistakes. Remember the "legendary" English ref Graham Poll who gave 3 yellow cards to the same Croatian player in the 2006 World Cup ?
