My bad, I meant yellow card.

It was a yellow, first offense and not serious contact.
Oh, this hypothetical scenario with no logical basis behind it besides a conspiracy theory clearly convinces me...
You just want less competition for Korea

Our opponents (Barca's) earned red cards for much smaller fouls (Motta on Busi a few years ago, for example)
Anyway, take a look, fouls like this are often a red card:

And even seems like Ney has seen him and done that somewhat intentionally..

The Croatian goalkeeper is so bad though. How is he NT quality?

The hyperbole in this thread is incredible.
The foul on the goalie is a foul every time unless the rules just changed today?
Neymar yellow was a missed call. Was simply a foul.
Penalty was a dive but you wouldn't say that live
Oscar goal was preceded by a foul on Brasil.
Ref was bad but call a spade a spade barcaforum.

In hindsight, such bad refereeing might pressure the next refs to officiate Brasil games to be more careful when giving penalties and such. The media just needs to do their part. Even the brazilian media is showing it wasn't a penalty.
But Scolari said he saw the replay 10x on tv, and to him it is a clear penalty
A joke, really.

Call a spade a spade? Ok. I think there was something going on with the referee. I think the integrity of the competition has been brought into question. Not only the big decisions, it was possibly the worst officiating I've seen in years and I have no affiliation to Croatia or animosity to Brazil.

the sad thing is that nishimura is technically a good referee and was so until the penalty. it really looks like some higher ups got cold feet after the first goal and then told him during the break "look, lets give em 20 minutes to turn this around on their own, and if not you'll know what to do" cue to croatia getting stronger in the second half and suddenly, bad decisions left and right.
pity for croatia, it's always a pleasure to watch them at tournaments, great technical side with a lot of fighting spirit. here's hoping they'll pass through nevertheless

Fred thanking god for helping him win a penalty with a dive. Gotta love that integrity. Agree Oscar was the best player on the pitch. Croatia will go through.

With that sort of helping from refs Brazil will go far. One phony peno per game will suffice.
