this opening ceremony is a mess.... and there are so many open seats

:lol it's almost embarassing to watch

lol was never a big draw anyways.
An hour and some change more to go before the REAL opening ceremony begins.

They had Pitbull and J Lo...

LOL THAT FIRST GOAL LOL

:lawl::lawl:

To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Neymar.

that goal on croatia was weak too the keeper shoulda had it

did they say he's a monk? that's like straight out of a anime

that was such a shitty call on Croatia

Fitting that it happens in the opening game and everyone gets to see how shitty it is.

omg!

well thats that

Croatias keeper sucks

Crazy futbol. Braaaaaaaasiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllll!!!

Boom. Time to use the winnings to buy beer.

Those calls on Croatia man, very controversial. I felt like Brazil's defense was lackluster and Croatia had very good scoring chances at the end of second half. What do you guys think about the goalkeeper call where the player bumped Cesar and then they got the rebound but it was called off?

was thinking the exact same thing about Brazil's defense...but meh, only first game. Croatia had such an easy time going through Brazil in the first half but they tightened up a bit on the second half.

That call though, haha that was just shitty. Replays show that guy was barely touched, i didn't see where the ref was, but maybe from the ref's perspective that guy got hauled down? Still, that was a shit call.

Bump on Cesar was a solid call imo.

Brazil was full attack in first half and all def in second half :lol

But woooo Neymar

didnt get a chance to watch the game, but oh neymar...

That's not Neymar.

oh, my bad, sorta looked like him (looked it up, it was Fred)

I was hoping to watch some of these games but jesus fuck the diving is annoying.

i was rooting for brazil entering this tournament.

but after seeing how much they dive in this first game and the horrible calls against croatia, I'm going to be rooting against them now.

too much home cooking.

Diving in men's soccer seems common though. When it comes to women soccer, it's a whole different story.

That's the worst part about it, diving is "part of the sport". Rather than being shamed and getting kicked out of a game for embellishing, they are praised by their teammates and fans if they get away with it.
