Neymar scored twice and escapes a sending off as Oscar stunner round off opening win for host’s country Brazil. Oscar, the man of the match also scored the goal of the night & placed the sufficient distance between teams to confirm credibility of sorts.
Will it be sufficient to save WCF 2014 from the wave of cynicism that overwhelms any event touched by fifa these days?
The tournament that needed to a Brazilian win got one. It also got an disgracefully poor penalty awarded to the hosts, an equality soft rejected goal for their opponents.
A doubtful decision that kept the poster boy of the tournaments & scorer of 2 Brazilian goals are: Neymar, on the field when he could easily have been sent off.
