3 hours to go.

Still a little bit of time to join the ESPN pick 'em pool!

I'm in and in.

B & B · 06-12-2014, 01:52 PM

Late joiner myself.

Enjoy the cup

PilotMan · 06-12-2014, 02:17 PM

So ready for this.

cartman · 06-12-2014, 02:17 PM

A buddy of mine is working behind the scenes at the international broadcast center in Rio. He just posted a pic of the Copacabana beach. It is nearly empty. Everyone is getting ready to watch the game.

DaddyTorgo · 06-12-2014, 02:38 PM

Going to have to abandon this thread until I can get home and watch the game. Unless I can make these 9 calls in the next...21 minutes.

MIJB#19 · 06-12-2014, 02:55 PM

I have a weird feeling Croatia will mess things up and pull an upset 2-1 victory, despite that a 3-0 win for Brazil seems more obvious...

Scoobz0202 · 06-12-2014, 03:01 PM

Any legal streams out there for this

Abe Sargent · 06-12-2014, 03:04 PM

And so it begins. Good luck Croatia!

cartman · 06-12-2014, 03:13 PM

Wow, horrible defending there from Brazil.

PilotMan · 06-12-2014, 03:14 PM

I picked Brazil, but I desperately want them to lose.

ISiddiqui · 06-12-2014, 03:16 PM

Holy crap, Marcello Own Goal!

cartman · 06-12-2014, 03:23 PM

That was more of a self-preservation move than a conscious save right then by the Croatian keeper. That was a hard, point blank shot.

cartman · 06-12-2014, 03:24 PM

Now that was an awesome save

MIJB#19 · 06-12-2014, 03:25 PM

It's confirmed, the 1-0 was a real goal.

PilotMan · 06-12-2014, 03:26 PM

No surprise that a whole end of floodlights have already gone out in the stadium.

MIJB#19 · 06-12-2014, 03:28 PM

Wow, Neymar got lucky there.

cartman · 06-12-2014, 03:31 PM

Impressive there by Neymar.

PilotMan · 06-12-2014, 03:31 PM

Good placement.

cartman · 06-12-2014, 03:59 PM

Brazil really woke up and took control of the match.

BYU 14 · 06-12-2014, 04:06 PM

Yeah, you kind of get the feeling they will roll in the 2nd half..

MIJB#19 · 06-12-2014, 04:14 PM

I'm not yet convinced about Brazil being in form, the 'dominance' to me seems based on the Croatians' mistakes that put Brazil in possession in dangerous spots, just like with the equalizer.

PilotMan · 06-12-2014, 04:29 PM

That was obscene.

PilotMan · 06-12-2014, 04:29 PM

Fucking obscene.

MikeVic · 06-12-2014, 04:30 PM

Fucking bs penalty call.

MIJB#19 · 06-12-2014, 04:31 PM

What a joke.

Abe Sargent · 06-12-2014, 04:33 PM

A better Gk stops that PK.

PilotMan · 06-12-2014, 04:35 PM

Makes me think that this whole thing is already stacked now for Brazil, if that's the way the reffing is going to go. Ronaldo is going to have a field day.

nah, penalty GK-ing is not like regular GK-ing, such little time to get to the ball and up until the last moment you don´t even know the ball is coming your way.

Also, this was one bad decicion (imo yellow for Neymar was fine, that is never given a red) and not a string of biased decicions. Hold your horses, maybe ...

MikeVic · 06-12-2014, 04:43 PM

What happened there? Why no goal?

Olic jumped into the GK inside the 5 yard box, that´s an automatic foul 10 out of 10 times.

cartman · 06-12-2014, 04:48 PM

Croatia is getting some decent chances here late

mmmm. I didn't have any horses? Who were you responding to someone else with the second half our your statement? I didn't comment on the yellow, and had no issues with it either. one way or other...

I just said if you get your hands on it that well, I would hope you would knock it out.

cartman · 06-12-2014, 04:50 PM

That seals it.

whomario · 06-12-2014, 04:51 PM

awesome goal by Oscar, kid is savvy

At least it took until the knock-out rounds in 2010.

Yep, I kept waiting for him to drop it off to the trailing guy, but that was a nice move to score

nah, that was more a preemptive caution against "it´s all rigged, FIFA decides that Brazil wins"

cartman · 06-12-2014, 04:54 PM

BID BRAZIL $2

rowech · 06-12-2014, 04:57 PM

Brazil was less than impressive.

bhlloy · 06-12-2014, 04:58 PM

Knew as soon as I saw where the refs were from we would get incompetent at best. Shame to ruin a really good game
