Or the ref bet a large sum on over 2.5 goalsCroatia isn't going to bunker. I'd be a huge sum on over 2.5 goals.
Im getting a lot of likes today, good times
Spoiler in case you guys are at work.
And Oscar is a beast.
Draw was the fair result. Brazil will home field their way to winning the group, but not sure they beat the runner up of group B. Especially considering their strength is in defense, they got caught too high way too often.
NBA refs > every other ref.. why the fuck is Joey Crawford still around?You mean more than the sport where an ump decides if every pitch is a ball or strike?
Pump your brakes, cowboy. Admittedly, it wasn't their best performance. But it was the first game of the tournament, with all the pressure in the world on their shoulders, against the best opponent they'll face in that group. And they still won 3-1.
If they look sloppy and vulnerable again, I'd have concerns. But not after 1 game.
3-1 doe. They looked pretty good at times and pretty bad at times. Still 3 points.It wasn't even a decent performance. Against a better opponent, like the Group B runner up, they don't win. They needed some help to win today.
Granted, things can turn around, but it wasn't like it was one or two things they need to tighten up. This had the feel of "first warm up friendly" more so than opening match.
Outside of Twellman/Lalas I've been enjoying ESPN's studio guys. Ballack, Roberto Martinez, Gilberto and RvN.
