Fernandinho and Willian should both be playing. I've never, ever, seen Hulk have a game where I've thought "wow, he's good!", yet I've never seen Willian have a bad game. And Fernandinho, as we all know, is an outstanding player.

Brazil -1 looking good..

I wonder what the bookies had for a Brazil own goal as the first goal of the tournament. Some drunk guy just got rich!

Croatia look very dangerous going forward, giving brazillian defendere a hard time.

Wasn't the first cross olic had managed to get into the box from the left wing.
They are looking very dodgy at the back, it's not like Croatia are throwing loads forward either.

Paulinho has been pants all season, no idea why he's starting over Fern.

Brazil look really poor at the back

Modric/Rakitic is a world class CM to be honest, so even if the rest of the team isn't as good (add Mandzukic and they get better), they will always carry a threat.

Agreed, Hulk isn't very good at all.

They should have played Bruce Banner instead of the Hulk, he's not incredible.
