The Croatioan technque is wonderdul, all Balkan teams have that, look how comfortable Rakitic is on the ball, the movement , touch, balance is perfect, never rushed, always making space , body position is perfect… WOOF to all the that

Rakitic is on his way to Barca to replace Fabregas. Is a better player than Cesc at the moment IMHO

@Rocko

Yeah - it’s just that the other two aren’t particularly strong so they could do with him dropping in to help. They’ve done it a few times now in possession where he’s helped out and they’ve had good possession from it.

Change made now, who’s this Brozovic chap then and what type of player is he?

Another attacking midfielder. Positive change from Kovac - like for like, but the temptation must have been to go for a defensive midfielder.

why Rocko?
they have Brazil contained here and can win this game

[Il_Bomber_Destro]

Outstanding crunching tackle from Corluka there, well worth the yellow.

I agree - I just think he went for an attacking formation and he’s sticking with it which is refreshing. He isn’t panicking to try and hold on, he’s backing his team.

Don’t know about that, Neymar had already misdirected the pass before he got clattered, the 3rd time he’d given possession away in this half alone.
PENO

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

Didn’t look a peno on first view

[Rocko]

Ah that’s a fucking outrageous decision.

[Piles_Hussain]

Brazil cannot lose this world cup.
Not gonna happen.
The fix is in lads.

[Fran]

Not a peno

[tazdedub]

Jaysus that’s a soft penalty.

[Il_Bomber_Destro]

Scandalous.

[Rocko]

This fucker was joint favourite to referee the World Cup final.

[Fran]

Fuck it, nearly got there

Should’ve saved it

[Lazarus]

That penalty was fucking hilarious:D

[mickee321]

that’s disgusting
Fuck the World Cup
signing out

[Il_Bomber_Destro]

Wee gook bastard should be sent home after that.

[Rocko]

I’m seething over that decision. What an awful decision. He’s just guessed, he can’t have seen a proper tug because there was none. He guessed on an Olic handball earlier when he couldn’t have seen it because it hit his face. Appalling.
