Couple of dodgy decisions definitely.
However the lineman did flag
Hopefully thats knocked a few quid off lovren
The referee couldn't wait to give the penalty. An absolute disgrace. I feel sorry for Croatia who gave a very good account of themselves.
Also if Neymar's elbow was a Croatian player then I'm sure this ref would have been dying to send him off. Cheating s.
BTW does anyone know what happened to the brazilian that tried a rugby tackle in the buildup to the disallowed goal?
Aparently the ref just ignored that too......
Et is sickening though, you can expect the odd dodgy descision but not a whole string of them in one match.
I'm sorry but this is a fix for Blatter's pension fund
He flutters around a diffrent continent every 4 years and scoops up that cash muth "
now it's time for the blubba
Blabber, to watch that belly get fatter
Fat boy on a diet.dont try it,

That you Stig ????
It wouldn't look good if the hosts went out at the group stages
Croatia's disallowed goal was a good decision by modern standards of keeper protection. You're not allowed the same leeway in physically contesting the ball with a leaping keeper.
The penalty was a disgrace though.

CBB, couldn't agree with you more. The Press were saying FIFA were petrified that Brazil would get knocked out in the early stages, hence that dreadful condition. I've never seen Brazil play so badly. A seemingly one man team. Full credit to Croatia, they deserved at least a draw.
Who caught my eye though, was Levren. Go get him Brendan. Only one match, and I watched him throughout, but he was very impressive.

I posted this on another article but with the Arsenal meltdown it dropped off the first page in minutes.
How come nobody is accusing Corluka of trying to break Neymar's legs with exactly the same tackle Sterling was lambasted for?
More to the point, if it deserved red when Sterling did it then why didn't Corluka also get a red?
Where are the calls for Corluka to be sent home from the WC?
Here is the tackle on Neymar (about 25sec in)

Here is the tackle on Valencia (about 50sec in)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMw_RJC_QNw
As far as I can see the only difference with the Sterling tackle on Valencia was that Valencia saw it coming and jumped over the tackle thereby not actually being touched but the United fans went into meltdown over the severity of it.
Unfortunately, the spam filter won't let me post a link to the thread "Deliberate thug challenge from sterling" where United fans were as near as dammit demanding Sterling's head on a pole.
