Opening Match: Brazil v Croatia
Only
one game into the World Cup and we already have controversy.
Unfortunately for the referee, slow motion technology didn't help his cause on
the so-called penalty against a scrappy Croatia.
That decision by the referee had a huge impact on the game result. We all
preach that in our games we hope the official has very little to do with the
outcome of a game. In fact, the best referees I have seen over the
years are hardly noticeable in a game. That way, the outcome of the game can rightfully be decided by the players. Croatia
had to feel like they were the sacrificial lambs being dragged to the
Lion's Den in this game. What a shame, because they put on a good show.
I
even questioned weather the call against their forward when he
challenged Brazil's GK on the cross was a foul. If he doesn't call it,
Croatia scores and we have a new game!
Well, such is the World Cup and it does add to the excitement.
Enjoy today's games!
