Croatia coach: Nobody in the stadium thought that was a penalty

Croatia coach Niko Kovac labelled a controversial penalty award against his side as "ridiculous" and warned that the World Cup will turn into "a circus" if referees do not improve.

Japanese official Yuichi Nishimura awarded Brazil a soft spot-kick in the opening match of the tournament in Sao Paulo - the score was 1-1 at the time and hosts Brazil went on to win 3-1.
