    My sympathies to Senegal. It's harsh to go out on the number of yellow cards given the varying attitudes of refereeing. I think it would be better to have a play-off and resolve the issue on the pitch.

    ^yeah, refs are notoriously inconsistent

    play-off might take too much time/money/energy to organize but they do need to do something like maybe "away" goals in the CL

    Japan apparently played legally but very much against the spirit of the game by waiting for Colombia to win and not try anything themselves.
    2nd round looks much better, but=one half is much more difficult (ARG v FRA, URU v POR, BRA v MEX) vs the other one which ENG were happy to be in...
    Tito Vilanova = :champion:

    Theoretically you're right, taking into account the fame of these teams. But honestly, none of these impressed me on this WC and I'm really disappointed with the quality of their performance.

    I hope Croatia will play the final.
    Vs Brazil.

    I'm hoping for France vs Belgium, and Spain vs England in the simi's, and an epic final between France, and Spain!

    Well deserved wins for France and Uruguay.
    Both Messi and Penaldo have to go home now. ��

    Uruguayans are even fewer. And they won the WC twice.

    Not deservedly because Russia was much much worse... but then it's quite common for the referees to give a helping hand for the hosts and with Pique you always have the useful idiot to help

    Well done, my red boy, Bobby Firmino! He came in in the last 5 minutes and scored the 2nd goal.
    I don't know why the coach keeps leaving this wonderful striker on the bench ....
