Brazil 2014 Referee Watch Thread

[Adit]

What a farce....it has begun

[RealGunner]

Farce of a referee

[VendettaRed07]

How is it that these world cups are always the worst when it comes to the refs

[Hapless_Hans]

....and the 3rd goal gifted too. clear foul before.

Really baffling. South Africa was as bad as it gets referee wise. Shocking.
Or so I thought.

[futbol]

Gladly Brazil are so shit that even refs won't save them once they meet proper teams. Already relying on last ditch clearances and disallowed goals against a deep sitting Croatia side.

[Zizou]

That is so unfortunate because the game was pretty interessting untill that faulty decision!

After that it just got terrible... feeling bad for Croatia beyond any words...

hope this will not get worse (in terms of referee mishap)

[LeBéninois]

C'mon , Bad decision from the Ref but not a farce. The defender put his hand on Fred's shoulder and as experienced as he is he went down.

If you guys are expecting a competition without bad Refering decisions then you're desilusional.

[LeBéninois]

Croatia really have quality. I don't see them losing against Cameroon and Mexico.

For Brazil , not having a great CF might hinder them after the group stage.

[Magic Spray]

Brazil really are massively overrated. I can't believe people jumped on their nuts simply because of their performance in a mickey mouse tournament like the confederations cup. There is no way they are winning this world cup.

Sure you expect bad decisions but not THAT bad. That is simply unacceptable.

They were the better team by far Did Croatia have a single clear cut chance between the own goal and the penalty? Yeah the penalty was BS but BS calls are common at the World Cup. Last year Chilie got a farcical red card vs Spain but were there any screams of conspiracy? Just because they Brazil are host countries we are going to see referee watch threads regarding them The better team won and won deservedly, end of story.

Yes because bad teams never win against good teams if they have the ref on their side. Like when Italy beat South Korea in 2002.

Nevermind very good teams like Brazil.

I think Brazil did more to win the game but Croatia got a lucky break early on and might have been able to pull off the draw with a fair ref. That being said Croatia did nothing to really win the game while Brazil were constantly better than them. Not having a competent striker will hurt Brazil a lot more against better teams. Fred's only contribution in the match was to fall in the penalty box, and that won the game.

The penalty was a joke and Croatia were looking good enough to get a draw before that, Brazil weren't exactly creating chance after chance.

lol better team? they created s%^& all apart from neymars goal and paulinhos shot on target. all they did was look threatening in stages in the final third but didn't create any real clear cut chances and looked a final pass away from a goal. still not good enough.

croatia on the other hand also looked threatening when they attacked, had some half chances and couple of good chances with the early header and late shot on goal.

brazil were nothing special. pathetic decision/s from the ref. hope to see them out soon.

if its true about the disallowed goal being legit from croatia and a foul should have been given before oscars goal, then i despise them even more.

[Guest]

Referee sucked donkey balls!!!!! i am ashamed to know that he is from Japan.

on behalf, my apologies to my fellow croatian supporters here.!!!

croatia deserved that equalizer.

i dont know if that japanese referee has grunge against croatians because they beat us in world cup 1998 group stage

[Tomwin Lannister]

I seen this coming from a mile away, Shame I wan't born 60 years from now when with any luck refferees will be replaced by GOAT technology.

They seriously ruin like 1/3 games

[Ganso]

Best post on this thread. Thank you.

[Lord Awesome]

That 2nd Croatia goal was legit as well but......oh well.

Mistakes happen.

[McAgger]

I would like to apologize to the proud nation of Croatia on behalf of FIFA and football.

We are sorry.
