12.6.14 World Cup - Brazil v Croatia

What have we learned tonight, apart from the fact that the Brazil side is a long, long way short of being impressive?

NEYMAR

Dirty Thug

His foul on Modric half way through the first half earned him a yellow card, when the referee should instead have shown him a red card.  As the ball approached, Neymar clearly looked towards Modric, and judged perfectly how to advance with a leading elbow, catching him in the fucking neck.  How the cunting fuck is that not a red card?

First Goal

Five minutes later he scored with the weakest shot of the century, but it managed to squeeze into the corner of the net.  All rather annoying seeing as Neymar should not have been on the field!

Penalty

Talk about fucking lucky!  How NOT to take a penalty.  Jammy fucker.

SCOLARI

Whinging, moaning, arm-waving sulky twat.  His least attractive moment was not the continued arguing regarding the decisions not going his way, but when he was seen demanding that the referee showed a card to a Croatian player.

REFEREE

An absolute howler of a fucked up decision, giving a penalty.  Fred simply cheated by throwing himself to the floor and the referee bought it.  Pathetic, really.


Verdict

A poor first game, and a travesty because I reckon a draw would have better reflected the overall input by both teams.  David Luiz is a liability, and his late challenge was more of a penalty than the one Brazil were awarded.  The third Brazilian goal by Oscar in injury time highlighted the limited ability of the Croatian keeper, who managed to make Joe Hart look good - no mean feat. This was a poor advert for football, and all I learned was that in desperation at trying to teach millionaire footballers how to count to cunting ten, the referees no have a canister of white temporary paint, so they can draw a line and tell players to stand behind it.  How fucking sad is that!  In my day, players had to fuck off ten yards, or be shown a yellow card!

Finally, the opening ceremony was simply awful, and Adrian Chiles does my cunting head in with his utterly useless ramblings and completely unprofessional manner.  Yet, the nob is paid as much as a top fucking footballer!
