The former referee believes that Brazil have been getting away with foul play during this World Cup.

Graham Poll said: “Time and time again the dangerous [Colombian playmaker James] Rodriguez was blocked, tripped and body checked. Yet, Paulinho and his Brazil team-mates escaped sanction. What the Tottenham man has to do to get a yellow card at this tournament I do not know.

“Frustratingly when Rodriguez committed a minor foul, he was cautioned adding fuel to the fire that Brazil are enjoying every perceived advantage of being a home team.
