The opening match of the World Cup, after the opening ceremony, the two sides of the duel are the host Brazil and Modric led Croatia, Kaka this game, sitting on the bench, obviously, Scolari is still not worried about Kaka's state, although there is less Kaka, but with Neymar scored two goals, Oscar's pass, Brazil finally won 3:1 against the strongest opponent in the group.

The victory certainly cheered the Brazilian fans, but the process of the game was not as smooth as people imagined before the game, with Marcelo as an own gift, and Hulk, who was almost invisible all over the field, also did not play well.

As for the Croatian side, the only thing worth affirming is Modric, who is well-scheduled and has a wonderful long-range shot, and the other players are only mediocre, the worst being Lovren, who dragged Fred in the penalty area and gave referee Yuichi Nishimura a penalty.

Neymar is the hero of this game in Brazil, counting this game, his national team career has been the fifth time that he has scored two goals, can be called a brace expert, the left foot long-range angle is very tricky, the right foot penalty is full of power, can stand up when the team is behind, showing Neymar's strong psychological resilience, and the leadership temperament to turn the tide.

Another key player was Oscar, who played for Chelsea, who first broke the ball to attract the bag and created a chance for Neymar to score, and then staged a long run before the end, stabbing the goal with a difficult toe to seal the victory for the team, which can be called the best game of his national team career, and responded to the previous doubts of the media with practical actions.

The only bright spot of the Croatian team is their absolute core Modric, although in the game, by the Brazilian double back to focus on the care, but the Magic Flute's play is still the best in the team, 57 successful passes, and 4 key passes, both of which are the first in the team, and he also sent 6 accurate long passes, the long shot in the game, if it is not for Cesar's brave save, there is indeed a possibility of scoring.

Behind the victory of the Brazilian team, the most embarrassing is Marcelo, the result of his own gift is a little helpless, in an absolutely embarrassing way, let the Brazilian team win the first four goals of this World Cup, and the performance in other aspects is not enough to make up for its mistakes, in the confrontation of Croatian captain Srna, completely at a disadvantage.

In addition, compared to Neymar and Oscar, the performance of Hulk, another big player in the Brazilian team's forward line, is almost negligible, and the most impressive thing is probably that when he blocked for Neymar, when he pushed Joel Luca's hand, several shots were not on the line, and he was replaced early to blame.

After the game, the media also focused on Brazil's penalty, and many media were very dissatisfied with Fred's practice of faking the penalty kick, and the French and Italian media even said that Brazil barely beat Croatia with the help of the referee.

The famous Spanish newspaper "Marca" even directly published in a prominent position with "Fred, fake fall!" Reporting on the opening match of the World Cup: After a huge, colourful but slightly boring opening ceremony, the World Cup kicked off in Sao Paulo, Brazil beat Croatia 3-1 in the opening game, Scolari's media mythologized backline was put to the test, but goals from Neymar and Oscar helped Brazil to victory, superstar Neymar scored twice, but unfortunately it included an unwarranted penalty.

The French newspaper Les Les Corps was more direct: the referee helped Neymar save Brazil, Croatia needed just 11 minutes to score their first goal of the World Cup, but two goals from Brazil's hero Neymar helped the team complete the comeback. Of course, Neymar's success is thanks to the help of Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura.

Italian "Milan Sport": The referee generously gifted the hosts, Neymar and Oscar became the saviors of the team, in the face of Croatia's once struggling situation, Neymar's two goals were easily defused, he and Oscar's excellent performance brought a good start to Brazil, and the generous Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura brought a big gift to some, which was a penalty that should not have existed.

Eurosport: Brazil's new national hero is not Neymar, but Yuichi Nishimura.

Isola, an NBA reporter for the New York Daily News, disagreed with the almost decisive penalty in the game, saying that Fred's practice of faking a penalty was too much, and he joked that the NBA would impose a $5,000 fine on Fred for faking a fall.

In the end, the much-anticipated 2014 Brazil World Cup opener, in a controversy came to an end, as the host's brightest star, Neymar's performance was amazing, in the Samba Army's own own own, the first goal conceded under the unfavorable conditions, Neymar stepped forward to score a brace to save face for the Brazilian team.

After the game, Croatia first attended the post-match press conference as the visiting team, coach Kovac first congratulated the Brazilian team, and affirmed the performance of his players on the field, and then commented on the penalty that came from the wrong way: "If anyone in the seat thinks it is a penalty, then please raise your hand, but I will not raise my hand, everyone knows that it is not a penalty, that penalty is ridiculous, in any game it will not be a penalty, if that kind of ball is awarded a penalty, then we might as well switch to basketball, I really can't imagine that a man like Fried weighing 85 kg would fall down at the first touch! ”

"It would be a disaster if the penalties of other teams against Brazil in the future were still the same as in the opening game, and the referees of the opening ceremony need to be more professional."

In fact, it is not only Croatia who are very angry about this, but also other people in the football community who have now begun to publicly criticize the referee's ugly performance in the game, with French legend Lizarazu declaring: "The penalty in the game does not exist at all, if this game was held in another country, then this penalty will definitely not happen, this is really a shame, I don't see how the penalty was awarded." ”

And Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger said directly: "The penalty of this game is a shame!" I'm ashamed of that, I don't know where the referee saw it was a penalty and I don't understand why it's a mistake in a World Cup. ”

All right! In any case, Brazil won and continued the unbeaten first game of the World Cup hosts, since Uruguay beat Peru 1-0 in the 1930 World Cup, the 20 hosts of the last 19 World Cups have an unbeaten record of 14 wins and six draws, and they have often been able to make the most of the advantages of the right time and place to beat their opponents to get off to a good start.

Therefore, in the minds of many fans, there is not much suspense about the opening match of this World Cup, and the only suspense is probably that Brazil can win by a few goals.

However, this is not the case, and if it weren't for the fact that Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura had ruled that Lovren's pull on Fred was too harsh and awarded Brazil a slightly reluctant penalty, the Samba Army would not only have been unable to achieve a comeback victory, but the chances of a last-minute defeat would not have been entirely impossible.

Among the past 20 hosts, the only one to fail in the group stage was South Africa in the last edition, since the introduction of the group stage, all the remaining host teams have successfully reached the knockout stage, or the second stage of the group stage, from the current situation, Brazil team into the round of 16 is not a problem, a stronger test awaits Brazil on the road to the knockout round.

The other match in Group A, between Mexico and Cameroon, ended up winning thanks to a second-half goal from Peralta.

The performance of both sides in this game made people feel a little boring, and the Cameroonian leader Eto'o, who was expected to have high hopes before the game, played completely disastrous in the game, with only one shot on goal in the whole game, which was outrageous.

This makes people think that the rumors about Eto'o's group trouble before the game, like the last World Cup, the conflict between Eto'o and the Cameroon Football Association has always revolved around the issue of bonuses, I really don't know why the Cameroon Football Association is so unreminiscent and has to bring this disaster to Brazil.

In a heavyweight matchup, Spain, which was more optimistic before the game, was finally overtaken 5:1 in the face of the Netherlands and scored one goal.

After the game, Marca, Spain's largest sports newspaper, immediately published a headline accusing Spain's performance: "World shame!" ”

Spain's performance in this game was very erratic, and the score of 1:5 also created the team's worst defeat in 64 years in the history of the World Cup, the last time they lost so badly in the World Cup was back in 1950 at the World Cup in Brazil, when they lost 6:1 to Brazil.

Spain have fallen under a spell and have failed to win their first game in their last three tournaments, drawing 1-1 with Italy at Euro 2012 and losing 1-0 to Switzerland at the 2010 World Cup.

"It's unbelievable." After the 5-1 win over defending champions Spain, Robin van Persie, the Dutch team's chief contributor, said to the TV camera, "This victory is a dream come true for all the Dutch. ”

"5 to 1? The scoreline can't be explained, that's what it is, we have to enjoy it now. Van Persie continued: "Now that we have three points, we still need to look forward, I've had great moments like today before, but tomorrow will be a new day, but today we have to enjoy it." ”

Van Persie believes that the Dutch team's first-half equaliser was crucial: "It was very important that we equalised in time after conceding the goal, and then Robben came back from 2-1 to make it very difficult for the Spaniard, and then everything fell into place, and we didn't stop at that point and continued to score until we won 5-1. ”

After the game, the Dutch media raved about the new orange shirts: "It was an epic night, the perfect Dutch slaughtered Spain. ”

According to the outlet, the Netherlands' victory in the opening game of the tournament was "almost unbelievable", with four of the five goals scored by Louis van Gaal's side coming in the second half, and after going into the second half with a 1-1 scoreline, the Netherlands stopped defending blindly and began to fight back, with Robin van Persie and Robben both scoring twice in the game. It was a wonderful start to the World Cup, and I am afraid that even Van Gaal himself did not expect that the trauma of the World Cup in South Africa could finally be forgotten at this moment.

In addition to the carnival of the Dutch media, the world's mainstream sports media also praised the Netherlands, "Milan Sport" said that this was the performance moment of Van Persie and Robben, and finally helped the Netherlands defeat Spain 5:1, "Roma Sport" used the words "Spanish Day of Shame" more directly, praising the Netherlands 5:1 victory.

Sky Sports claimed that Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben teamed up to inspire the Netherlands to a devastating victory over Spain: "The Netherlands produced a perfect second half, they beat Spain with a devastating counter-attack. ”

After such a heavy defeat as 1:5, Spanish coach Pep Guardiola also gave an interview to the media after the game.

Pep Guardiola admits Van Persie's equaliser was a big blow to the team: "The Dutch equaliser was demoralizing and we couldn't get back ahead, it was one of the most vulnerable moments for the team, we all tried to solve it, the next game against Chile we had to fight for the win, after that we would have delivered a satisfactory answer, in the second half the opponent caught on to our weakness, we made a lot of mistakes, but the team didn't give up. We've been fighting for a better result, with the Dutch taking the lead and chasing the win, the high morale that got them better and better, and we got worse and worse. ”

Pep Guardiola also criticised Spain's defence, and he also pointed out in a very rare way that players did not give their best in the second half: "The Dutch had a lot of chances, found a lot of gaps in our defence, the first half was calm, but in the second half we were so fragile and it didn't matter, we won and we could afford to lose, in short, we didn't surrender." ”

In this game, goalkeeper Casillas's game was substandard, but Guardiola did not blame the loss on the love general: "One player can't decide the outcome of the game, it depends on the performance of the whole team, we can't blame one player too much, it's not all Igor. Casillas' responsibility. ”

However, it is clear that after this game, Guardiola will have to reconsider the team's goalkeeper problem, whether to continue to believe in Casillas, or to switch to support him Barcelona will Valdés, which will be a problem that Guardiola needs to solve urgently.

The other Group B match ended up between Chile and Australia, and although Australian veteran Cahill scored a brilliant header in the game, Chile still won 3-1 against the Australian Kangaroos thanks to goals from top star Sanchez, as well as goals from Valdibi and Poseijour.

Although the era of the striker duo has passed in time, the Chilean team, which has returned to the World Series, has shown a stronger form.

Subsequently, the match of Group C also unfolded, and Colombia defeated Greece 3-0 in the first game. Rodriguez was the highlight of the match, not only scoring a goal before the end of the match to seal the win for Colombia, but also assisting Almeiro and Gutiérrez to score in the game.

After the game, major media also wrote articles to praise Rodriguez's performance, and the domestic media in Colombia even put the title of the second generation of the lion king on his head, after all, after Valderrama, Colombia has not had such an exciting player for too long.

Another game in Group C, then between Ivory Coast and Japan, although the Japanese team's star Keisuke Honda took the lead for the Japanese team in the game, and maintained the lead until the end of the first half, but in the second half, with Drogba played, the Japanese team instantly Sparta, although Drogba failed to score, but his leading role in the front line is undoubtedly the key to Ivory Coast's victory, and finally with the goals of Bony and Gervinho, Ivory Coast overtook Japan, Victory.

The first round of Group D then unfolded, with Uruguay losing 3-1 to underdogs Costa Rica, with Cavani taking the lead for Uruguay, but then the Costa Ricans launched a desperate counterattack, with goals from Campbell, Duarte and Ureña helping the Costa Ricans to achieve an incredible victory.

Of course, the biggest reason for this defeat is due to the absence of Uruguay's number one star Suarez, and without the sharp knife on the front line, Cavani seems to be alone, although the loss is surprising, it is actually reasonable.

The other Group D game, arguably the highlight of the tournament, was a 90-minute battle for England 1-2 Italy, with Marchisio breaking the deadlock in the 35th minute, only to be equalised by Sturridge just two minutes later, and Balotelli's second-half goal gave the Italians a victory.

After the game, Balotelli, who was so excited that he got carried away, even teased the Queen of England in an interview: "If the British want to win, it is best to ask us not to let go of water in the matches with Costa Rica and Uruguay, but I need a kiss from the Queen!" ”

All right! No one would be surprised what Balotelli said, he had a bunch of shit in his head, and it made sense that it smelled like that.

The next day, the match in Group E also began, the first game of Switzerland 2:1 Ecuador, although Ecuadorian star Valencia scored a goal first, but the difference in strength still made them collapse in the second half, and finally the Swiss won the victory thanks to goals from Mehmetti and Seferovic.

In the other match of Group E, France won the World Cup 3-0 against Honduras after 90 minutes of fierce battle, and without Ribery, Benzema became the absolute heart of the French team, he scored twice in the game, and the other goal was an own goal scored by Valladares.

Group F was the first match between Argentina and Bosnia and Herzegovina, just three minutes into the opening game, Kolasinaci scored an own goal to help Argentina take the lead, and in the second half, Messi also began to explode, his sharp breakthrough in midfield left Bosnia and Herzegovina completely powerless, and finally scored his second goal on the World Cup stage in the 65th minute, and Bosnia and Herzegovina scored their first goal on the World Cup stage near the end of the game.

The other match in Group F, the duel between Iran and Nigeria, also gave birth to the most boring game of this World Cup, in which both sides did not seem to be aggressive, both were defending, and the number of shots on goal was few, and the two sides ended up in a 0:0 draw, each taking one point.

The next day, a key battle in Group G began, and in what was supposed to be a close match, the German tank completely crushed Portugal 4:0. Muller scored a hat-trick in the middle of the game, with defender Hummels adding the icing on the cake.

The pre-match expectations of Camuro were still disastrous, as he appeared to be in no form during the game, and his only threatening shot on goal was a free-kick in the second half, but unfortunately his shot was denied by Neuer.

After the match, a disappointed Golden Mauro once again showed his teammates: "I don't even know what they did today!" ”

All right! Everyone has learned the stinky mouth of the golden mule, what he likes to say, let him say it!

The other Group G game was between Ghana and the United States, with Degan's Tottenham team-mate Dempsey scoring a goal less than a minute into the game to give the USA an early lead, before Garner equalised in the 82nd minute of the second half, but just when everyone thought the game was going to end in a draw, Brooks' goal sealed the win for the United States.

Then it was Belgium's turn to be in Group H, and in the first game, Russia and South Korea were tied 1-1, Lee Geun-ho's goal helped the South Koreans take the lead, but their lead only lasted for a minute, and Russia's number one striker Korzhakov equalized with a stunning long-range shot, and the game ended in a draw.

Then, it's time for defending champions Belgium to come on and their first opponent at this World Cup will be Algeria, known as the Desert Fox from North Africa.
