why is it a shame? It was a shambolic performance by him and he cheated Croatia out of that match. Deserves all the abuse he gets.

Spot on. Awful refereeing. To give that yet not send Neynar off for smacking the Croatian defender in the face was poor in the extreme.

Very poor referee. Neymar clearly looked for Modric before he put the cowardly arm in his face - definite red card - the players reactions were a good indication. The penalty was a joke but the ref couldn't wait to give it - in some ways the Croatian coach was right - let's go home it's obvious you are going to present the World Cup to Brazil - so why hang around. The only fly in the ointment is that I'm not sure a bit of dodgy officialdom and some major play acting (cheating) will be enough to get this Brazil team over the line. In the next round they will get Spain or the Netherlands and on last nights showing Brazil will struggle. For all the hype there are some very average players - with inflated egos in that side - Hulk instantly comes to mind.

I'm not sure that the referee was any worse than the clowns we have to put up with in the Premier League week after week.
 
I think for Brazil NOT to win the World Cup someone is going to have to give them a complete hammering, as in performance and score line.

In any close games they will get the 'assistance' of the match officials. I'm not going as far as saying that the officiating will actually be corrupt but I'm certain that the officials will know of the possible consequences for the World Cup as a whole, and maybe even them personally, if they give anything slightly controversial against Brazil that leads to them exiting the competition.

If they're getting penalties like that one then they need to be played off the park to beat them. That refereeing had nothing on the Italy-South Korea game in 2002 though. That was horrendous.
 
Japanese ref should be happy with his own performance. Should be expecting a dozen Brazilian hookers in his hotel room and a nice deposit to his bank account


Fred is completely useless aside from his diving skills. Can't believe I thought he was decent and nailed on to play in the Premier league after his Confed cup exploits
