FIFA World Cup 2014 kick-started with a bang last night! And while ballistic fans couldn't stop going gaga over Neymar and Oscar's match-winning performance that put Brazil on the lead, a section of Twitteratis lashed out on John Abraham's - Bollywood's very own football expert - and VJ turned compere Gaurav Kapur, whose lackluster presence and insipid talks on Cafe Rio, Sony Six's pre-game show, almost killed the fun and lulled the audience to sleep, making them wonder if they were watchinf IIFA instead of FIFA. Jokes aside, tet's take a look on some of the ridicules butted at the actor and his co-host, Gaurav Kapur.
