Ronaldo has limped out of Portugal training tonight:

Neymar should have been sent off for that. Knew well what he was doing.
That should have been a straight red. Neymar is a jumped up little bollix
It is too early in the game and/or he didn’t hit him in an area that could cause serious damage
Goal now to mug them off
Bollocks.
Neymar is a bollix but he’s a great footballer.
Not the hardest shot you’ll ever see to go in from there.
As well as being one of the best forwards in the game:clap:

‘The shot wasn’t great but the direction was good’
The direction was brilliant Ray.
Croatia caused Brazil a few more problems just before that equaliser. Croatia are well on top in midfield. Brazil look very dangerous when the get it forward but they’re struggling in the middle and the full backs are getting roasted.
Keeper won’t be happy
Brazil missing Coutinho
In 2o opening games host country have won 14
It’s been an excellent game of football so far, nice bit of needle to it too, no harm either. I’ll give the ref the benefit on the Neymar elbow, he’s been spot on otherwise

Ray is shocking. Sacrifice HD to watch ITV?
He was never going to get a very clean strike going for that side given the angle of his run. He picked his spot perfectly and while it mightn’t have looked like the greatest of shots it’s still a very good goal.
I can’t remember as lively an opening game?
Shaping up already to be the best World Cup since Espana 82
Hulk showing off his years of experience from playing in Japan with a culturally relevant bow to the assistant referee.
So you say.
What about yourself? Do you remember a more lively opening game?
Oscar has been excellent down the right. Houghton is torture. Just before he echoed @Rocko’s comment about it being a weak shot from Neymar for the goal, he’d been complaining about Jelavitch who actually forced a decent save from the keeper with a tricky header.
Not for the last 3 or 4 years anyway.
