It is time. Time for the World Cup. The blessing FIFA bestows upon us every 4 years. Thank you FIFA.

WHERE CAN I WATCH THIS poo poo?
Refer to this thread for the ultimate TV guide

Tonight we will get the opening ceremony which will be a celebration of Brazilian culture and football. A feast for both the eyes and the soul.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE OPENING CEREMONY.

First of, the metro workers has resumed work so the 65.000 strong crowd should be able to get into the stadium. They will be able to watch an amazing opening ceremony that will include stuff like;

A dude wearing a mind-controlled exoskeleton will kick a ball for the first time. It'll be like watching Jozy play.



We also know that Pitbull and Jennifer "J-Lo" Lopez will be performing their song, which is not as good as Shakiras version. There will also be 600 dancers anda giant LED ball.


When all this is done, there will be a brief pause for pundits to talk about Brazil and Croatias line-up.

Brazil and Croatia will be playing against eachother in the new Arena Corinthians.

(I couldn't find a picture of the completed stadium so it might not be ready, who knows)
Brazil prepared by playing against Serbia, which is similar to Croatia in every single way, and won the match but not without their share of problems.
However, the host nation has never lost their opening World Cup game which is a pretty strong statistic and drat if I don't love some stats.

I don't know much about Croatia except Rakitic and Modric are both fully sick and I would not be surprised if they won tonight.

Expected line-ups
BRAZIL

CROATIA

Pletikosa (worst keeper in the tournament); Srna, Corluka, Lovren, Vrsalijko; Vukojevic, Modric; Kovacic, Rakitic, Perisic; Olic.

The last time Nishimura worked a match involving Brazil, this happened!



Which means he will be doing back to back World Cup matches for the hosts, even if they were seperated by almost 4 years. Nishimura also worked Brazil's 3-1 win over Belarus in the Olympics. He has never worked a match involving Croatia.

Kick-off is 22 CET, 9PM, 4PM EST

Co-Winner of the PWM POTM for March
Football will be the winner tonight. But in another more accurate sense, Brazil will the winner tonight, by a two goal margin. Neymar will score one (and only one) of the goals.

That's a new stadium? looks like something straight out of the early 80s, bland and boring poo poo with harsh lines/angles. Not smooth Brazil, not smooth at all.
