First robbery of the WC

[EKBATAN]

But they scored 2 other legit goals.

Oscar's goal had a foul before it that the ref didnt call. was it modric or rakitic?? they held the ball too long hoping for a foul call which the ref didnt call.

[webmaster]

the penalty was correct in my opinion beause the defender held Neymar's shoulders and prevented him from going forward and get the ball therfore he fell down and I think it was hard to see it and the ref did a good job.

Fortunately TM has been spared outrageous calls in WC play so far, knock on wood. The terrible officiating cost Croatia at least a point and their GK is really bad. He should have saved that poorly taken penalty while smiling during his correctly guessed dive.

:bs:

what a dive

[onebloodfool]

Whatever.
If Brazil loses points and in worst case does not make it to next round, then the atmosphere of the World Cup will vanish. Brazil simply HAS to qualify to the knockout stages, regardless if they deserve it or not.
Yeah Brazil sucks, but if the ref has to help them to get results, Im all for it, if it means better atmosphere and a better World Cup for everyone else. lol

[Keano]

Indeed a horrible call, absolutely not a penalty. Not to mention that the keeper was kind of at fault for the 1st and 3rd goals, great effort on the penalty kick though, a bit unlucky!

Nonetheless Croatia did not look like a loser at all!

The other BS call before Brazil's third goal:

[PSGman#19]

Divers like Fred should be suspended 4 games. I don't undertand why FIFA don't put these kind of rules.

[Zamboor]

The problem is the whole team gets hurt by these calls, it means the Iranian dude gets the blame to by FIFA. Damn the refs today sucked big time! Croatia lost the game thanks to the ref

But no worries Croatia will make it out of the group!

HRVATSKA!!!!

[Kavian]

We also got a goal disallowed in the friendly we played against brazil courtesy of another useless afc Arab ref. That goal was legit and could have changed the outcome.

[Bijans]

Yep! Thats what you get from an AFC referee! He made a lot of BS calls!

That penalty was a horrible dive and yet he fell for it,

the second Croatia goal was by no means a foul and it should have been legit....

I feel sorry for Croatia, they deserved a tie.

How many shots on goal did they have and what was their ball possession?

[Kiarash]

How many shots on goal did they have and what was their ball possession?

Does not matter, it's about efficiency. The undeserved penalty turned the entire game around, and the second goal from Croatia was legit. Actually with a fair referee this game ended 2-2.

[Zamboor]

Swedish commentators said that croatia was the better team in the second half and did not deserve this bullshit. And that the penalty goal will be talken about for weeks to come because of well you know why.

[OFFSIDE_1]

and to top it off, the idiot ref gives a yellow to the Croatian defender.

Your opponent dives, gets a BS penalty call, and you get a yellow for someone diving to get a BS penalty call. Now that must hurt.
