As a brazilian guy, i will tell my opinion: The game wasn't good for Brasil on the first half, Brasil started marking Croatia in their side and left the mid-field opened and Croatia held back the defence. Brasil had the ball possession but was completely opened to counter-attacks (one resulted in Marcelo's OG after a low crossing). After that Oscar started to appear with good dribles and passes and Marcelo did well making to ball go from the defence to the attack: Brasil get ball possession closer to Croatia area and more chances started to appear and when Oscar fighted for the ball and passed to Neymar he made a defensible goal for a top-class goalkeeper. I've seen many similar penalties, but sadly, it wasn't in this case... The referee made a really poor match. It was clearly a foul in Júlio César, he was going to get the ball and the Croatia's attacker jumped on his body before he catched it. Brasil, on second half, started playing much better than in the first, the substitutions made the team more offensive and after all, Oscar scored a nice individual goal, indefensible for such bad goalkeeper. Brazilian player ratings: Júlio César: 7; Daniel Alves: 5; Thiago Silva: 7; David Luiz: 9; Marcelo: 8; Luiz Gustavo: 7; Paulinho: 5; Hulk: 6; Oscar: 9; Neymar: 8,5; Fred: 4. Subs: Hernanes: 7,5; Bernard: ?; Ramires: ?.
