Colorful? In Brazil? Impossible.
No soccer haters please. If you don’t like soccer, farenough, but please just don’t reply to this thread. As those of us who hate baseball ignore the World Series threads.
Brazil 3 Croatia 1
‘Neymar stole the show as Brazil came from behind to open the World Cup with a victory over Croatia in Sao Paulo, but the match turned on a controversial penalty.
The poster boy of this World Cup came into the tournament with the responsibility of delivering Brazil the trophy they prize above all else.
At the Arena de Sao Paulo, he stepped up to the mark, finding the net either side of half-time to bring Brazil back from the brink after Marcelo had scored an early own goal.
Oscar cemented the result with a wonderful individual goal late on but the adulation went to the man with the No.10 on his back.’

I like the way Brazil scored all the goals in a 3-1 defeat of Croatia.
So keeping a running tab of which clubs are scoring the most in the WC:
Barcelona 2 - Neymar(2)
Chelsea 1 - Oscar
And this is what I hate about OGs, IMHO, the last offensive player to strike the ball should get credit for a goal.
