Mandzukic was suspended and it certainly showed up front. Can't remember who said Croatia played better but what game were you watching?

[550BC]

same game you were watching, they played quire rude though, and after the game watching the statistics Brasil was better when it come sot the numbers and percentages, but Brasil played awful compared to previous squads they had.

[Fenix]

They looked a touch sloppy at times but dominated possession and the match in general. It was a good game for them to get the jitters out... playing in front of the home crowd with that pressure.

I am by no means a Brazil fan. I'm hoping that the Netherlands will get through second in their group. I think Brazil vs Netherlands could be very interesting, potentially putting the Brazilians in the stands for the remainder of the cup.

Perhaps it's just wishful thinking though...

"The host nation are allowed one shocking decision. Brazil have used it early."

I haven't seen a fascinating game by Brazil in ages. They were slightly better yesterday, yes, but this game of ball possession developped by Barca and still performed by Barca and Spain can be quite boring. I watched the deciding game in Spain Barca - Altletico and was blown away by Atleticos performance. There are a few teams that play a similar style, and of these the south-american teams like Chile and Uruguay are my best bet along with Belgium and Italy from Europe. I wouldn't mind if Germany wins this, but I feel they peaked from 2010-2012 and are a little overrated right now as well as the Netherlands.

There was nothing "shocking" here. Unless you are questioning the penalty call which could have gone either way.

DRRK - I hear you. The whole Tiki-taka style can definitely come across as boring....or is it brilliant? It's a debate I don't think can be settled. This tourney is a toss up. Argentina has a scary offensive team that could get on a roll early given their weak group. I still feel like Germany will really miss Reus. It will interesting to see if they go traditional striker with Klose or false 9 with Gotze up front. I wouldn't mind seeing them win too.

Seriously? Ofc I'm questioning the penalty, it was absolutely obvious (but for Scolari).

I can understand your point of view. I think the "I'm 30m from the goal but I'll still try to shoot from here straight to the goal ignoring my comrades on the side, and I will do this every time I'm in this position" is more boring. I'm not saying this is the Atletico style at all, just saying that is what it's opposed, in my mind, to tiki-taka style.

Just saw the penalty. Total bullshit call. Terrible mistake. Feel bad for Croatia.

I don't hope Brazil and Netherlands meet each other the next round, want both teams in the round after that and Brazil lost last WC from NL..although that was a great squad they had the Dutch are shit now.

By the way everybody is orange in my train...

Like this and you are the black sheep?
