They usually seem solid enough because they have lots of energy in midfield to help out the defenders. That was a poor goal to concede.

Chelsea won't be giving up that bus so easily.
I can actually see Croatia getting an 2nd goal here.

A seat in the stadium, everything else will be delayed from a under a second to four or five.
Croatia scoring early makes this interesting, now we get to see if this modern Brazil team is any good
Croatia playing really well so far, and Brazil looking dodgy at the back. Which can't be that much of a surprise when they have David Luiz in central defence.

They used up all the electricity on the big glitter ball in the opening ceremony

I thought that but I didn't know if it was OK to say it or not.

5.21pm but remember it's almost their shortest day as it's winter. Which flummoxed me when I was watching Gary Lineker last night.

It's 17:22 - but they are closer to the equator so it will get darker sooner.

I was going with Errol Flynn but I think you nailed it with Sammy Davis Jnr. What with him and Sid show bob in defence they really do have some characters.

yeah........do you mean the one who tried the fancy flying kick on that cross ?
isn't that Neymar ?
For the first time Neymar gets behind the Croatian defensive line.
Brazil just upping the pressure at the moment.
