What a way for the World Cup to start. Brazil’s Marcelo may have had some nerves but he provided some great entertainment for everyone else when he managed to score on his own goal to start the World Cup.
Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up:
.embed-container {position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;} .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
Twitter, as always, was swift with reactions:
If Brazil doesn’t win Marcelo Vieira will die. #WorldCupMyBalls
