Lads, it's here. The opening game of the FIFA WORLD CUP 2014. Brazil. The nation that loves football so much they spent four years rioting outside football stadiums because they were so impatient for the world cup to start. Well riot no more, Rio et al(*edit: I am aware, as should you be, that the opening game is in Sao Paulo) the day is upon you, the world is watching, and we can't wait.


Some Brazilians asking foreigners not to go, so there's more tickets for them. Selfish, but boy are they passionate!

The teams:



The host nation, and tournament favourites. If Brazil don't win it on home soil they'll riot in the streets. Ahem. Great players such as Pele, Carlos Alberto, Fat Ronaldo, Zico, Roque Júnior, all came from here.



Oscar. Looks like a child.



David Luis, defender who looks like sideshow bob, and defends like him, also.



Hulk. They've got a player called loving Hulk. Smashing.

And of course their star man, the man the whole country expects to help them lift the trophy by scoring all the goals because he's the best player in the world:















Fred! Top lad, top English name. Wait, what? You thought, erm, Neymar was going here? gently caress that I'm not searching for pictures of that little fucker.




Croatia. They've had some top players in their relatively short history, Davor Šuker chief among those. This year, they've got a squad that includes a player from Hull loving City, so you can tell they're struggling for numbers. They're expected to lose tonight. Still, they've got:



Luka Modric. Real Madrid star and all round good lad. Could cause the hosts some problems.



Gareth Bale. I mean, Mario Mandzukic. Super Mario plays for Bayern Munich, unless he's moved already. I didn't read the transfer thread. Real goal threat from this lad.

Referee Crew [Thanks CHAOSLORD]:

Referee: Yuichi NISHIMURA (JPN)
AR1: Toru SAGARA (JPN)
AR2: Toshiyuki NAGI (JPN)
4th: Alireza FAGHANI (IRN)
RAR: Hassan KAMRANIFAR (IRN)

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


There will be an opening ceremony, and it will feature hundreds of semi-naked women and men doing some samba moves, with feathers, maybe.

KickOff:
17:00 local
21:00 BST
15:00 EST

idk work them out if you don't know when it kicks off look at your TV schedules.

Counterpoint: Modric is baller and Neymar is an awful little bitch that will start crying after a few crunching Eastern European tackles.

Croatia to win and Brazil to implode and destroy the entire continent of South America thus cancelling the World Cup meaning Australia are tied for second and Croatia win.

Let me fall out the window
With confetti in my hair
Deal out jacks or better
On a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secrets
But I lie about my past
Is this where we watch and comment on the opening ceremony as well? Is that ever worth watching at all actually? It's nothing like the Olympics one, is it?
