In deference to Mrs Cliffs loathing of football I caught up with the opening match on Match Of The Day,as far as the match went not a bad game at all,attractive open football from both sides initially boded well.
However the game will be remembered for a totally incompetent and worrying performance by the ref, Neymars raised arm would normally have been a red,the penalty was a joke of the highest order,what did the ref see that the rest of the planet didn't other than the cheating Fred and how can you foul the keeper when you don't touch him.
Now we are used to poor refereeing performances but it was the inciteful comments of the excellent Tim Vickery that sent a chill down the spine, reporting on the protests he raised the governments nightmare scenario of Brazil going out of the tournament early,
To quote from his report "I don't know if that scenario was on the refs mind but Brazil got even more home decisions than usual,if that is the case we may as well give Brazil the cup now"
We can but hope that this is untrue but in the world of Blatters FIFA who knows.
