Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool,Brazil!!!!!!!!!! 1-1.

I would just love to see Brazill get beat in their first game. I think they have a great team but they're just a perennial powerhouse that I'd love to see get beat.

But all the Brazilian players I remember seem to be gone. I have to learn all new names now.

So far Brazil has scored twice for a partial 1-1 draw

Neymar yellow card, but at least he made up with that goal. I think that yellow card was well deserved.

Did ESPN air the opening, all I saw when I tuned in were talking heads.

I watched the opening on CBC (Canada).

I thought after Marcelo own goal, he would have been shot by half time....and I am not even remotely close to joking.

 

[DJdish]

Yes I know, in some countries this game is a religion. There was at least one case in Colombia, right ? a player who was killed due to an incident in the field.

Ive tried and tried, I just can not get into this game/sport.

 

[Scherrman]

Looks like Brazil got gifted a goal right back to them there.

Watch it on Univision,it's worth it just to hear the announcer yell "Goooooooooooooooooooooooooool" everytime someone scores................speaking of which,Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool,Brazil 2-1.

 

[DJdish]

Yep, I´m now watching it on Univision, that guy is unique. Not sure if that was a legit foul, but Brazil is now leading the game....... GOOOOOL

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Júlio César!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DJdish]

wow, Croatia was close to scoring, and then GOOOOOOL scored by Brazil....

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool,Brazil 3-1!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

I do not understand the concept of stoppage time. i guess they had to add more time to the 4 minutes they added.

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Congrats Brazil.

 

[DJdish]

I agree with the Univision guy, IMO Brazil did´n´t show a solid and convincing game, but they won, and IMO they did better than Croatia, so I think they deserved the 3 points.

Ok,you got me there,I just understand when they yell GOOOOOOOOOOOL. But like I said before,I didn't recognize any of the current Brazilian players. Is Kaká still playing? He's obviously not starting if he is,although I guess i did see him taking a picture of something.

I´m no expert, sure Kaká rings a bell, but I haven´t heard his name.
Some of the current guys, I remember from 4 years ago, at least one I think, the blonde guy with curly hair who plays in England, what´s his name ??
Hulk I remember was in the Olympics final 2 years ago, and I know the name Neymar because he was recently bought by Barcelona FC.

Anyone think that Fred is a huge flop? Croatia got robbed! Those refs completely forgot the rules of the game during the second half xD
