That's because Park Ji Sung was the greatest soccer player to ever play the game. On the real, yeah there was home cooking but they weren't scrubs. There was some justifiable talent on that team.

I am cheering for Brazil because I used to live there, but some you guys need to lay off the Croating gk. Neymar and Oscar's goals were well placed balls, and even the best gk in the world would have a hard time saving them. Here is to folks that never play soccer: you don't need to strike the ball as hard as you can to score; a well placed kick can be even more effective.
there was tremendous skill there how he handled and hit the ball with the tip of his foot Tribute to Ronaldo
Glad I am not the only one that notice that. A well placed ball with just the tip instead of full motion kick. Caught the goal keeper by surprise, as he probably thought Oscar was going to advance a bit more before striking the ball.
The stupid thing was that I thought that the ref was pretty good in the first half (although the elbow by Neymar could have been a red card, but most refs would not have giving a red card). The second half my opinion obviously changed. Let's go The Netherlands, lets get revenge for 2010. Van Gaal does have what he is best with a group of young players.
Oscar was on fire. MOTM no doubt. Beautiful hustle. Could feel the Brazilians having a little butterflies, a lot of missed passes and so. Now that game one is over with they'll have less pressure and are going to cruise. Was really impressed by their physicality, not something Brazil is known for. Two great games again tonight.
Haha and wow, that Croatian GK... The last goal from Oscar all he had to do was pull his hand out lol. Turrrriibbbllle. But then again, I'm used to seeing Courtois so
It was a weak call for the pk but that's not why Croatia lost. After the first goal, they abandoned the counter attack. They'd win the ball and 1 or 2 would start to go forward but they had no help. Brazil did well to stay behind the ball but Croatia simply stopped what was working for them in the opening 20 minutes. Also, it's not the keeper's fault...but he looked slow. His reactions were not quick. I know nothing about their backup but they might be better served if the backup is younger and quicker.
So who do you have down for winners/scoreline/first scorer in today's game? Mexico/1-0/Peralta Spain/2-1/van Persie Chile/2-0/Alexis
He didn't predict the Neymar brace like me, so kudos should go to me alone because I am the greatest.
Cameroon is a horror show on defense. It's amazing Mexico hasn't scored a couple goals already and it's only 7 minutes in.
