Did you watch the opening ceremony last night? Well, I did and I’m sorry to say that it bored me to death. Even a super sexy and near topless Jennifer Lopez aka J Lo can’t stop me from taking a nap while waiting for Brazil vs Croatia match. Luckily, I didn’t miss the first game of FIFA World Cup 2014. A very entertaining game helped by an early own goal by Marcelo and some controversial decisions by Japanese jennifer hudson grammy referee, Yuichi Nishimura .
Then out came the players from the dressing room and temperature at the stadium raised several bars. And despite worries over traffic and the inaugural stadium, which was completed six months late and scattered violent protests by furious Brazilians over $11 billion being spent to host the Cup in a country where hospitals and schools are often poor, the tournament is a GO.
The line up were as expected by the media although I failed to understand why Scolari prefers Paulinho over Ramirez or Fernandinho in midfield. The biggest attention was without a shadow of doubt reserved for Barcelona’s superstar, Neymar but it was Oscar who later stole the show with superb man-of-the match performance.
The game got an early injection of pace when in the 11th minute, Real Madrid’s Marcelo put the ball inside his own net while trying jennifer hudson grammy to clear a cross from Croatia’s player. That really put the Brazilian in the attacking jennifer hudson grammy mode as defeat is not acceptable for a team that is regarded as favourite to win the tournament and considering the current political background in the country. In doing so, they left their defence exposed and were lucky that they were not punished by the Croatians. jennifer hudson grammy Talk about lucky, their star man, Neymar could have been sent off for elbowing Croatia s Ivica Oli in the face but he stayed on the field as Yuichi Nishimura only decided to flash him with yellow.
Not long after the elbowing incident, Neymar decided to re-prise his role in Nike ‘s “ The Last Game ” with mesmerizing dribbling run minus the selfie of course. He finished his run with a dragged shot that brought the hosts level and stamped his status as one of the stars of FIFA World Cup 2014.
The jennifer hudson grammy Brazilian luck got even better in the second half as Yuichi Nishimura found himself in the midst of controversy yet again for awarding Brazil a penalty in the 71st minute. Whether or not Dejan Lovren brought down Fred is a matter jennifer hudson grammy of academic now but the Croatian must felt injustice when with seven minutes remaining and Ivan Perisic had put the ball into Brazil’s goal only for Nishimura to blow for a very soft foul on goalkeeper Julio Cesar. And The Oscar Goes To….
Well so much controversy and it really took the shine out from Oscar who gave a brilliant performance in the midfield. The Chelsea man won the midfield battle against Luka Modric and capped up his outstanding display with a fine goal in the injury time. It was a very intelligent poke shot at exactly where Pletikosa had been slow to get down in the first half. The tall Croatia’s goalkeeper seems to be struggling every time the ball were hit low on the ground and I’m sure other teams in Group A will take note of this.
