Unbelievable Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Olic decision wasn't a foul for me. He just outjumped the flappy-handed Cesar and the ref gave the decision to the keeper - as appears to be the vogue when anyone challenges a keeper aerially and wins. Crap decision, but not uncommon sadly. Cannavaro said after the game that 'FIFA rules' say that you can't touch the keeper in the 6-yard box? In which case it is a foul but it's a f***ing stupid rule Rule has been around for ages. That's what the 6 yard line is there for. That said, I'm not even sure that qualified last night.

Cesar was shockingly bad in that particular play and got away with it. Who the fuck starts a keeper that had barely played 5 minutes the entire season just before hosting the world cup? He was rusty and shaky and it showed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 That ref was the biggest homer I've ever seen. Gave Brasil a dodgy pen, wrongly disallowed a Croatia goal and gave them nowt all night. Croatia desperately unlucky to lose that game and played very well. The pen wasn't dodgy, the pen was appaling. Was horrible to give it, but I've seen this ref give stuff under pressure. It's all on FIFA. However, if he was a ''homer'' is bullshit. He let some Croatian players make 5-6 fouls. Vrsaljko who scissored Oscar down at the corner flag had more than his fair share of terrible tackles to still be on the pitch. He just had a bad game all around, my new hero though: http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Yuichi+Nishimura+Olympics+Day+5+Men+Football+XB-BkwQlreyl.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that may be wrong. Just googled for a rule protecting a goalkeeper in the 6 yard box, but it appears to not or no longer exist. Maybe somebody with a better grasp of the rules can explain. You can touch the goalkeeper I think, but you can't impede the goalkeeper to move in the 6-yard-box which is exactly what Olic did. At least in SA these fouls are always blown, honestly, I don't think I've ever seen a ref not blow a foul for that. Even in the PL and big European leagues we see that consistently, but because it was Brazil and they got a horrible pen people are trying to make more out of it. Now Unbelievable, I'm going to Arena Fonte Nova to watch your god damn team, and I'm starting to hope they actually win. I'm starting to think that Spain shouldn't get out of that group because they'll win it all if they do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'm not saying he was since he basically gave us a goal. But I can't believe people are complaining about a disallowed goal that came 1000seconds and 2 shots after the whistle was blown correctly. Anyways 3 points is 3 points at this stage and I think both teams know it very well that it was a massively unfair scoreline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain are notoriously slow starters at competitions, and I don't think they'll consider this first match as a must win. My prediction: a boring one each.

TRon Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Anyone with countries on their betting slips that aren't Brazil might be better served binning them now if that's anything to go by. 2 goals scores by a player that should have been having the first use of the soap. A penalty that clearly wasn't and a goal disallowed for little. That's without the Croatian, think it was Olic being clipped by the last man without even a foul given. Fucking disgraceful. Conspiracy theories aside, I don't think Brazil look like a side that will win it. They have some good individual players, but as a team they don't really put their football together that well. I can see teams exposing that defence on the counter attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
