BRAZILIAN BAURU

AFP, Rio de Janeiro
WC OPENER BREAKS FACEBOOK
RECORD
Brazil's 3-1 win over Croatia in the World Cup opener on Thursday generated 58 million posts on Facebook, almost five times more than this year's Academy Awards ceremony in I lollywood, the social media company said on Friday. The most commented play on Facebook was Neymar's first goal, which levelled the match after Brazil fell behind early with an embarrassing own goal. Ihe second most talked-about play was the controversial penalty that led to Neymar's second goal, putting Brazil ahead for the first time.
With 16 million posts, Brazil was the most active country on Facebook during the game, followed by the United States and England.
HERRERA PLEDGES
TO AZTEC FANS
Mexico coach Miguel Herrera pledged to repay his country's fans who he said would "sell their houses, cars and even pawn their grandma's clothes to come to Brazil" by battling to keep their World Cup dream alive.
" The Mexico fans were unbelievable and I think there are going to be thousands of them in all the stadiums throughout," said I lerrera.
"They've done the impossible just to come to Brazil to support us, selling their houses, cars and even pawning their grandmother's clothes!
"They made us feel like we were playing at the Azteca (stadium, in Mexico City). We want to repay them for their efforts."
FRED DEFENDS PENALTY
Brazil striker Fred insisted Friday that Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura was right to give a controversial penalty in their opening World Cup win over Croatia.
"It was clearly a penalty," said Fred, pointing out FIFA's refereeing commission chief had seen an apparent shove. Television replays indicated little contact between Lovren and the Brazil centre forward.
" There's no such thing as a more or less penalty," Fred said in a video statement on the Brazilian Football Confederation website. The striker said that after receiving the ball and trying to turn "I felt a weight on my shoulder and the ball went beyond my reach."
"I lost mybalance and fell," he explained, adding a similar situation had arisen in Brazil's warm-up match against Serbia.
On that occasion, he recalled he managed, while going to ground, to hook the ball into the net.
RIBERY COULD HAVE PLAYED
Franck Ribery could have played at the World Cup if he wasn't afraid of injections, the France team's doctor Franck Le Gall claimed Thursday.
A week ago Bayern Munich star Ribery pulled out of the World Cup due to a back injury that virtually stopped him running.
But Le Gall now claims that Ribery could have played if the France team had listened to him rather than another doctor, while he also said Ribery's own fears hampered his willingness to take such a route.
"Franck belongs to a club where the treatment for all problems, whatever they are, starts from a base of injections," said LeGall.
"He can have 10, 20, 25, 40 per problem, per year. We could have chosen this option, which we didn't do.
" Ihe time came when he couldn't cope with any more injections, so we didn't do it because he's afraid of injections.
FLYING KEBAB JOKES
NOT FUNNY
Germany midfielder Kevin Grosskreutz said he's fed up with jokes about his two recent run-ins with the law - hurling a spicy kebab sandwich at a fan and urinating in a Berlin hotel lobby.
In an interview on the Germany team's official website, Grosskreutz bristled when asked if he was glad there were no kebabs at the team camp in Brazil.
"You know what, I don't think that's very funny at all," said Grosskreutz, who faced assault charges after a Gologne fan told authorities the Dortmund midfielder had thrown a kebab in his face that burned his eyes.
