World Cup - Day twelve

Day twelve of the World Cup and Brazil beat Cameroon by four goals to one. This helped them to qualify top of the group. 

However Cameroon where poor and some of there defending was just embarrassing and as a nuetral watching the game. 

I was not entirely convinced that Cameroon wanted to at least get something out of the game before exiting the World Cup. 

So Brazil won the game relatively comfortably but they where not playing the free flowing football that we are accustomed to seeing them play. 

If they are to win this tournament then they need to up there game and play more attacking free flowing football that made them footballing giants. 

Elsewhere Mexico beat Croatia by three goals to one to qualify the the knock out stages. 

World Cup - Day One

The opening game of the World Cup and Brazil beat Croatia by three goals to one. However the scoreline did not reflect the game.

Croatia went ahead in the first ten minutes albeit by an own goal and then Brazil got an equaliser. Then somewhat controversially the refree awarded Brazil a penalty. 

In real time it did not look like a penalty and looking at the replay, Brazil where very fortunate to be given that penalty. 

Up until that point both sides where pretty even and once Brazil converted the penalty, Croatia did not really look like they where going to get an equaliser. 

Then in extra time to add salt to Croatia's wounds Brazil got the third goal and killed of the game. 

So Brazil got a rather fortunate win but Croatia did not really play their free flowing attacking football style that we are used to seeing from them..
