That's a brave bet.

Croatia has been impressive thus far but Brazil is starting to find form...

And Neymar evens it as I type...

This match isn't going as I expected. Croatia is playing elite defense!

Also, Brazil has a played named 'Hulk'....

PENALTY KICK!....off a Brazil flop.

Porkwarrior · Jun 12, 2014

That penalty was BULLSHIT! The Croat keeper is a piece of work, damn he almost had it.

And Brazil almost own goals again....grrrrrrr c'mon you Slavic sob's get one in the back of the net!

This umpire needs to be flayed. Alive. Slowly.

2nd bad call with Croatia having a wide open net. Ugh.

Not all that impressed with Brazil today, but you can't say they don't take advantage of their opportunities -- like that awful mistake Croatia just made on gooooooooooooal #3.

it wouldn't be the world cup without a ref making a stupid call that changes the momentum on the field.

KelBel12 · Jun 12, 2014

That was a flop the Italians and Miami Heat would be proud of. Same center as when Brazil got put out last World Cup. He clearly felt bad about 4 years ago and was making up for it.

What ref would let the host nation lose the opening game.

Knowing how corrupt FIFA is, not a smart one. No host country has ever lost the opening match to my knowledge.

What a controversial game! Can't wait for tomorrow already!

So we can all admire Fred's work...

ESPN reporting that FIFA has called on the US to be ready to host 2022 if Qatar is stripped of the honor...which they most certainly should be, even without the bribe scandal.

Whatever this animal is from the opening ceremony, it has a penis on its back.

Very glad for the World Cup. I try to watch most every game but my main games are group g since I'm supporting Portugal but it'll be a few great games and lots of new young talent which I enjoy. The starter game eh a few questionable calls but hey what can you do...
