Brazilian keepers are not accustomed to shots on their goal in the first 30 seconds.

Surely a yellow card on Peralta.

Holy shite that challenge on Damaio was terrible too.

Well placed shot, not hard struck.

Considering the keeper didn't leave the goal mouth to cut down the angles, it didn't need to be hard struck. The logical thing to do in such a screwed up situation is to tend to far post, as normally space is 60%+. He didn't have time to come off the goal mouth, it was like a fricking penalty, just pick a side and pray.

Hey guys.. I just turned it on and saw a Mexican pretending to be in severe pain on the ground.

:surprise:

And then another one of them just made the hand symbols for diving to the ref on the next challenge.

Have anyone mentioned that we hate these teams yet?

You said he didn't have time. He went the wrong way at first then dove and barely missed it. That's all i was saying. And he had time to come out of his goal mouth too, but he's young and inexperienced so not surprising he didn't do better.

Brazil has many positive qualities to compensate for Neymar's not really diving, more being 12 pounds

Hulk has the shooting prowess to rival Ronaldo, and the shot selection, as well

I feel like someone told him to cut it out before this tournament

I just rewatched it. You're right, he doubted/hesitated. Yes, he's young, and nobody expects a potential situation like that to occur.

Interesting it's cool for a GK to follow through, but Marcelo got a yellow for doing that with his legs earlier.
