Hey Croatia, great news, you get to play in the opening game...oh, we forgot, it's against Brazil who have a 57 match home win streak

 

[Dotsee]

Look out, own goal...Croatia up 1-0...and they do not look intimidated at all

 

[Dotsee]

Well, that is more like what we expect...GOAL NEYMAR!!!!! 1-1

 

[Dotsee]

It's evident Croatia is not threatened by Brazil. Brazil is the most dangerous team, but Croatia has had a couple chances as well 67th minute still 1-1, and if it ends in a draw, it's a win for Croatia

What a crap call! Never in a million years should that penalty kick have been given!

Replay is needed for penalty calls because of idiotic calls like this one.

Brazil leads 2-1 now.

Fred with a dive in the box, and the ref blows it, gives Brazil a penalty and Croatia a Yellow Card...goal Neymar...that was one of those calls where you just know, the REF BLEW THIS ONE and it will at the least seem to cost Croatia a point based on how the game was going.

HORRIBLE CALL!!!!!!

Agree awful call.....Fred sold that dive and the ref bought it.....

Hopefully that ends this ref getting anymore assignments....

Ref is from Japan.....

Mark Mravic @MarkMravic As a defender, you cannot put your arm on a shoulder like that and dare the ref to call it.


Mark Mravic @MarkMravic Not saying I would have called that PK. Saying the defender takes a risk in that situation.


Former ref...

HOLY COW, and now a "foul" on the Brazil keeper, as Croatia celebrates a tying goal...waved off on a 50-50 ball that Olic won on a header for Croatia

I'm okay with the foul that took away Croatia's goal. It wasn't much of a foul, but he did lead a bit with his arm.

But the PK given to BRA was pathetic! It stole a point from Croatia and made it that much easier for Mex and Cameroon.
