FIFA World Cup 2014 - GROUP A [Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon - 12/13/17/18/23 June] **spoilers**

Referee to get Nobel Peace Prize for singlehandedly preventing riots in Brazil.

 

[Verponian]

Even the brazilians hate Chiles

 

[Moothead2]

If this game had finished 2-1, we'd be talking about the ref giving Brasil the win. Thankfully they scored a 2nd legit goal right at the death.

Really? What about the disallowed goal, Neymar's elbow and the penalty they could have been given?

 

[maun]

Protesters targeting Chile's it seems YAY.

First match of the World cup ****** up by a ***** Ref.

 

[Pighardia]

They are not protesting anything Chiles, they are after you

Except he failed The ITV studio has been pelted by demonstrators. Not sure if that is against Fifa or ITV though.

What? Croatian player got absolutely pole axed off the ball in the build up.

Referee spoiled that. Neymar should have been off, never a penalty and foul in the build up for their third. Every 50/50 the ref gave to Brazil. International refereeing can make or break these finals, and I desperately hope the standard improves from here on in.

Very impressed with Perisic, Modric and Rakitic. Gustavo, Oscar and Neymar for the yellows too.

I've made the rookie mistake of organising to go out for dinner tomorrow night - need to make sure I cancel my social life for the next month

Everyone 100/0 and 0/100 went to Brazil too pretty much

 

[ShaolinDreams]

I need to cleanse myself with a good bathing and my soul with a little whisky. Robbed.

Italians are going down. Cannot wait.

Ref should have drawn a white line around himself as he is Dead to me !!!

Did you miss the blatant foul not a few seconds before that then?

No, You are s'posed to imagine a cut scene from Dexter, Lots of Blood splatter Ref on floor & then out comes the white line.

Roy Hodgson's dinosaur tactics, i can see the Italians being very scared of that

Actually surprised he didn't spray a new goal line in front of the Croatian keeper and award Brazil a goal every time they had a shot saved.
