Croatia lost against Brazil. That was like not even fair.
Some heavy hitters are playing against each other this Friday and Saturday.

corruption/cheating
Everyone's going to talk about that penalty but if the ref gives Neymar the red he deserves, Brazil plays most of the match with 10 men and Croatia probably wins. That was at least as big a call as the penalty.
Pretty freaking rubbish striker too. Should just play Neymar as a striker, Bernard and Hulk on the wings.
To think, they wouldn't even play Diego Costa when they had the chance, ha...
Thank you for calling the TBOT World Cup Game Complaint Line. You are in a queue, all of our complaints handlers are busy with other clients at the moment however a supervisor will be with you as soon as possible. Your call is important to us, please continue to hold......
Hulks theatrics not quite at Rivaldo levels, but shameful nonetheless.
No wonder the likes of Darth have a skewed perception.

Home side always gets the calls. There has been worse calls and no doubt there will be worse again.
Hardly corruption and more the nature of how (most) people will react in a pressurized situation.
Junior Football called off Chch NZ tomorrow morning so I get to watch all 3 games.
4AM is kick-off for the Mexico - Cameroon game, hopefully worth the early start.

In the box and down we bleedin' go.....

May we refer the honourable member to post #269 above thank you.
You are now in our loop of eternal frustration, enjoy.....
Brazil gets the calls whether they are the home side or not. Brazil always has the ref on their side when they are losing or being outplayed by a 'smaller' team. Always. Come on.
As I predicted, all the talk and controversy is centered on the penalty. Never mind the dozens of other missed calls, including the straight red for Neymar, and in this case you can't say he didn't see it. He saw it and gave a yellow. That is cheating by the ref.
