BuffaloBillsForever Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Of course he is. Doesn't mean he's not an amazing player and doesn't mean that the highlights from this World Cup won't be dominated by him. This is what they were saying about Cristiano Ronaldo 8 years ago.

meazza Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 The Brazilians (and Italians) are drama queens but they can play the game. To borrow from other sports, the Brazilians are like a team of Terrell Owens's and Danny Ainge's. They are annoying as all F%^& but they are really good. There are plenty of Brazilians i have tons of respect for. Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Cafu, Emerson, Maicon, Julio Cesar, etc but I have zero for him. This has to be the weakest attack I've ever seen Brazil field but strongest defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsForever Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) That has to be the most BS !@#$ing PK i've ever seen. Brazil overrated, Croatia always underrated going into world cups. BS penalty kick in favour of Brazil and a scoring opportunity/goal taken away from Croatia and you get your final score. Brazil even got lucky on their penalty kick in which the goalkeeper read correctly. Looks like this Neymar guy might have some game. And you all doubted him. For shame meazza and magox. Not a stellar game IMO on his behalf. I give credit to him on his 1st goal (stellar touch), but he got a gift wrapped penalty kick in which he got lucky even scoring on. I don't buy the hype on him or Brazil just yet. Edited June 12, 2014 by BuffaloBillsForever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Guy on the Bench Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Good game to kick everything off. God, I love the World Cup. Agree that the penalty call was shite. But the Oscar goal made the result feel a little fairer. Plus Oscar was a maniac the whole game. He worked his tail off and deserved that beautiful goal. Fasten your seat belts. It is going to be a great month. Edited June 12, 2014 by Last Guy on the Bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Adams Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Poor showing by Brazil. But now they will stroll through the remainder of the group stage and maybe they will come together more. Neymar was not much of a factor. Struck a poor shot on the goal and PK was not great and should have been saved. Croatia played well enough to win. Spain Netherlands today will be fantastic.

BringBackFergy Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Cameroon had a few nice opportunities in that game. The wingers crossing passes were a bit "overkicked" (a la EJ throwing fade passes). Otherwise, they played well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meazza Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Horrible officiating once again in the Dutch/Spain game. Is this the corruption we all heard about prior? I don't think so. I think it's mainly because for the group stages, they use refs from more countries which aren't up to the standards of the top leagues in Europe. As the knock out games start, it should get better.

Automatic instant replay on a called foul for a penalty kick should be mandatory. It makes so much sense. Soccer refs are becoming as incompetent as umpires in baseball.
