Brazil looks week in the mid field... Keep giving the ball up... They will easily win the group but it doesn't bold well for them going forward!!

imo there was more than just the bogus penalty.No more games today. At the end of the day Brazil deserved to win despite bogus penalty. Croatia still has good chances on advancing.
imo there was more than just the bogus penalty.
croatia scored a goal that was taken away on a questionable call (imo, the wrong call) saying the player interferred with the goalie.
and another time croatia was looking to score and the ball hit a croatia player in the face but the ref called a handball.
so take away the BS penalty kick from brazil..... dont take away the scored goal by croatia and now we have a tie game.
then the hand ball call takes away another scoring opportunity for croatia (though its doubtful they would have scored on that play)
whole new ball game if officiated correctly.

The interference where the attacker made the header pass for the trailer was a correct call. You could see from different angles that he was affecting the goalies possibilities to deflect the ball.
The penalty was flopping obvi but Croatia would have been very lucky to defend the draw. They really had problems keeping the ball and get structured offense going. Always hail mary passes and forced fast breaks.
Disagree... I felt that Croatia controlled the game and only when bad calls went against them did Brazil get momentum and look like a good squad.... But that first half Croatia was winning the mid field creating Havoc for Brazil's back line!!!
The interference where the attacker made the header pass for the trailer was a correct call.
See that's not a gray area call. If you watch Championsleague on a regular basis. Like weekly multiple games...Then you know this is a call that's happening multiple times every game. Within the "restricted area" if in doubt you'll whistle in favor of the goalie.
Plus 70% ball possession for brazil means that Croatia dominated ****. Brazilian defense simply is kind herpaderp and ****s up. But that was to be expected. Nuttin else.
Croatia had a very simple game plan, strong defense and fast breaks to try to score. It worked on Marcelo's own goal, but after that Brazil controlled the match.
The penalty was bogus on my opinion, but it's not Fred's fault for flopping, the ref on the other hand is the guilty one here. Flopping in soccer is pretty much part of the game and it's the refs job to see and make the right calls.
Having said that, I think Brazil would have won the game even without the penalty kick.
1 game down, 6 to go!
P.S. Did the U.S. media mentioned the crowd cursing the Brazilian President during the game?
the guys calling the match disagree. they thought it was the wrong call and seemed quite sure about.
to me, it was a 50/50 call and could have gone either way.
Except it was 58%-42% still favoring Brazil but with a hand full of devastating calls you expect Croatia to loose ball possession...
