Belgium/Argentina is boring so here I go
Brazil/Croatia was a HUGE farce. The ref was basically not giving out cards when Brazil really deserved them and were playing dirty. IIRC Neymar in particular deserved one early on but wasn't called out on it. Then a Croatia goal was disallowed because of a supposed foul that wasn't really a foul at all. If that game had been refereed fairly Brazil would have been lucky to tie. Croatia outplayed them.
Then this last Brazil game was ridiculous, with the same issue of the ref ignoring Brazil's overly rough play and putting up the offsides flag 15 seconds after play to disallow a Colombian goal. The entire reason people are saying Neymar's injury is karma is because he WOULD have already had a collection of yellow cards had the games been refed fairly. Not saying those comments are not in poor taste but there is a context for them.
So think about how many disallowed goals there have been in this WC and then think about how many went in Brazil's favor. Same goes for uncalled fouls and falsely called fouls. It's a biT much to be a coincidence
But the real reason there's such an anti-Brazil movement is Brazil's fans will never admit that they were wrong and that their team is the worst it's been in years and has been, let's say "lucky," to make it this far. Their country has become this WC's de facto "villains" for obvious rigging and poor WC organization, but they can't see that with Neymar's balls on their face
Congrats Argentina!
