A lot of Croatians here at work. To say they're not happy is an understatement. They have no problem with getting beaten, but not like that.
You have to say that Oscar was MoM though.

No one ever says anything about players rushing up to the ref and shouting at him after a foul in the same way.

I regularly complain about this, and it is one of the many reasons I can't bear to watch la liga.

Was this a "homer" ref, a corrupt ref, or just an inept ref. Either way, FIFA will be in deep poo with their credibility / respect if we see much more of this.[/QUOTE]

Fifa's strategy to employ refs from all over the world absolutely guarantees inept decision after inept decision. The best players in the world deserve the best refereees but FIFA ensure that they don't get them.

They'll go on and win it with their cheating still at an international high water mark. The myth of Brazilian supermen has never been more plain.

Croatia more than a match for them. Only won from a joke penalty decision. No chance of winning it if they play like that. Looks like Spain in Round 2, could be interesting !!

I reckon Australia will hold Spain to a draw after that display tonight. Brazil would get taken apart by just about any of the top nations in the next round though.

That ref must be bent.

Sadly I think just buckled under the pressure from the home crowd/players. Was he Japanese ? If so not likely to have refereed many games at that kind of level. That said .we see plenty of soft penalties given in the EPL as well

Anyone remember 1974 in Gelsenkirchen? Pissing rain while Holland battered Brazil 4-0. Fingers-crossed.

I cant stand the card waving! Brazil showed they didn't have any class. I would feel embarrassed to win like they did. Things that are going to annoy me this world cup

Card waving
Players surrounding referees
Diving
Holding players at corners (Italians will be all over us)

Ever since Brazil knocked out my favourite international team (Chile) I've become a firm believer in 'anyone but them'. I shall be supporting Colombia most fervently.

I don't think my feelings against them could ever equal the depth of my passion for ABA and ABG, but I certainly want them to fail, fail now and fail miserably at this WC. Colombia have been great - that Hameth Rodriquez bloke is def player of the tournament so far for me.
