Let's just hope that was a one-off decision that went the way of the hosts. A lot has been said about the big players and this is a stage on which they must perform. The same should be said for the referees. They're obviously gonna be nervous officiating a World Cup match but they need to show conviction and not get caught up in the atmosphere.

I thought Croatia acquitted themselves well and were worthy of a draw.

Also, I thought it was hilarious when the Goal Line Technology popped up for the first goal. "Hey! Look! We're here! And we work! We probably won't be needed for the whole tournament but we're gonna show every single goal after it's juuuussst gone over the line to justify our existence!"
