What upset you about the circumstances?

Looks like seven European teams will go through, a lot better than it looked just a day or two ago, when I thought it would just be four.

Algeria, that was a surprise.

Bit shot dark anyone know if bbc commentators do live feeds for any other country/network even for the games they dont broacast live in the UK? Am finding ITV coverage to be frankly irritating well perhaps its Chiles who knows

kimilseung

I don't know, to your question, but CBC is an alternative online English language source.

In fairness, all teams have looked a bit dodgy at the back but Germany is usually rock solid in defense, which is a little strange. Perhaps Lahm should return to left back again, why the hell Loew played four centre-halves at the back is beyond me

The US have handled themselves very well thus far though, IMO. A 1-0 loss against the Germans is nothing to be sneezed at. I reckon if they have a good day they can have Belgium. Quarter finals would be deserved, I think.

Brendan cant just throw him under the bus though. Got to say the club still want him, got to push Barcelona to go to the full buy-out clause price. Barcelona are still apparently interested.


This is kind of ironic, given it was a biting incident, from his grandmother:

and this from Gordon Taylor (which from him, is like saying he is a scab on the face of the earth that needs burning with fire)

He refused to play for Fulham ever again even though he was under contract for another year because he wanted to force a move to a bigger (Champions League) club. He'd just had the best season of his career and thought he was bigger than us. Obviously he went to Spurs, hardly played or scored and lasted just the year til he was sold to Seattle.

Leaving us was probably the biggest mistake of his career.

Why a game that was - absorbing.

I feel really sorry for Chile, was rooting for them to go through.

Glad to see all this soccer is getting up Coulters nose.

Coulter: Any growing interest in soccer a sign of nation's moral decay

Saw that link on another forum. Who exactly is that clueless bint???

So Brazil looked pretty poor (and that's probably being kind). Through by the width of a crossbar/ upright! I think it might have led to a flat competition had Brazil been knocked out this early.

Bob

Brazil were lucky really....they didn't look convincing at all at the back, or against set pieces....or against anyone taking players on.

Think the ref had a pretty decent game too, and got that call right.

She gets paid to get page impressions for ad revenue. She knows exactly what she is doing. I.e. trolling.

yes, as I said on another thread, she is a self-confessed professional wind-up merchant.

Lots of coverage all over, like has been said she was taking the mick.
