This seems an appropriate comment on the British participation in the FIFA world cup championship:

damn...

it has only just started and it's already a fucking fraud...

neymar hits a croatian player in the face and the ref fails to show him the red card.
a few minutes later he scores a goal.

then fred falls to the ground all by himself and the ref offers brazil a penalty.
another goal.

then ramires commits a foul over a croatian player and the ref doesn't blow the whistle.
oscar takes the ball and scores a goal.

disgusting.

I was afraid of that,reeks like 1978

I'm getting nervous

I guess any rough play is just the pressure of it being the opening match and the expectations of a home crowd.
Good luck to Sri. Spain is a tough opponent :-(

two, not one, two perfectly legal goals scored by mexico stolen by the ref...
