I don't really like the Croatia team (rough style like Germany had a decade ago), but figure that Brazil is my enemy this time around. (I chose Brazil and got Brazil the last two times around, I think, and cheered for them in 1994 against Sharleen's Italy.) Rodrigo said the Internet was full of jokes and ridicule against the Japanese ref.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18325865974714117878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4782349255321849541.post-29274466941263450842014-06-12T21:54:04.357-07:002014-06-12T21:54:04.357-07:00I didn't stay up for this one Carol. Kickoff ...I didn't stay up for this one Carol. Kickoff was at 1 in the morning, local time, so I'm hoping to catch a replay here this morning. Friday is the weekend here in Abu Dhabi, so it will be a perfect way to start my 2014 World Cup.

The ref. deemed Olic's perfectly legal knock down a foul on Cesar." "The ref. invented a penalty that led to a Brazilian goal." "Fred tumbled under minimal contact, but it was enough to fool the ref." (Was he fooled or paid off to make the protesting Brazilians happier about the games?) Finally, from Univision: "una victoria mentiroso" (a lying (fake) victory).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18325865974714117878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4782349255321849541.post-1879782171016857372014-06-12T14:43:47.124-07:002014-06-12T14:43:47.124-07:00Referee just stole a goal from CroaciaReferee just stole a goal from CroaciaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18325865974714117878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4782349255321849541.post-2804315969335502502014-06-12T14:38:06.859-07:002014-06-12T14:38:06.859-07:00continuing above comment of unfair arbitraje: Mano...continuing above comment of unfair arbitraje: Mano que no fue manoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18325865974714117878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4782349255321849541.post-15339981017887850962014-06-12T14:32:44.595-07:002014-06-12T14:32:44.595-07:00Wretched arbitraje, Japanese árbitro favoring BRAZ...Wretched arbitraje, Japanese árbitro favoring BRAZIL.

If Arlan hadn't called us to see if I was watching, I would have missed the whole game, since I was taking a nap. Thanks, Arlan!
