"As expected, host country Brazil had the honor of scoring the first goal of the 2014 World Cup. What we didn't expect: it went in the wrong net.\nLeft back defender Marcelo Vieira was the unfortunate owner of the foot that accidentally the cringe-inducing own goal, giving first-game Croatia an early 1-0 lead. (Brazilian star Neymar leveled the score before half time.) \nSee also: 17 Wildest Things at the World Cup Opening Ceremony\nThanks to Vine, you can now watch the own goal happen again and again and again. \n\nIt's a facepalm moment if we've ever seen one. \nNeedless to say, Brazil's fans were not impressed, and began to flood Twitter with harsh words about their defender. Apparently in their anger many blamed the wrong footballer \u2014 they were directing tweets to @Marcello instead of @12MarceloV. \n\nTo all those hurling abuse at me for scoring an own goal, please re-direct your anger to @12MarceloV. Thank you\n\u2014 Marcello (@Marcello) June 12, 2014\n\nA different angle on the goal you might not have seen:\n\nImage: MashableHave something to add to this story?
