Enjoyable match to watch.  I do a little sorry for Messi have a poor tournament but that's football for you.

Been really enjoying the world cup.Yesterdays games were great.The French look like they will be hard to beat.Would love to see the Spain v Russia game but there's a certain gig today in Manchester so no doubt if it's worth watching there will be some highlights somewhere on the net.Ronaldo and Messi both going home home on the same day.As some one said many years ago"One swallow never made a spring" :D

France looked good but Argentina didn't so I'm not sure what that portends cos Argentina did manage to score 3. Perhaps the French defence is vulnerable. Uruguay did the business but I'm afraid I can't say anything positive about a team that includes a player who should never have been allowed on a field again after the last world cup. Gut feeling and hope is for France to go through to the semi.

Lots of smaller teams beating the established ones which is pleasing. Particularily as some eejit on a BBC thread said the likes of S. korea shouldnt be there. Probably a top 4 premier league fan. Well bugger off with your top four. Footies built on underdogs. Brazil v Croatia final. Id have gone Brazil V France if it was possible.

Well done Russia,Spain much better team technically,but beaten by their own negativity.........Croatia v Denmark,well whats to say ? Very poor game,surely Croatia can't play that badly again (and win) ? Really looking forward to Mexico v Brazil today,should be a good one.......

A pretty comfortable day at the office for Brazil,Mexico started o.k.but seemed to run out of steam.The less said about a certain Brazil players histrionics the better......................best team won.

I feel really sorry for Japan tbh. Although it needs some of the bigger teams through to make it harder for Brazil.

We were 3 friends in a bar last night watching Japan-Belgium and drank heavily really.We all had Japan's national team shirts on us and suddenly German ZDF channel guys came to our table for a street interview about Germany's loss in the world cup.I really don't remember what I told them.If you see or hear some drunk person in japan shirt and saying stupid things on ZDF that's probably me  ;D

Well done England i thought they were great (that's something i never ever thought i would say).Stood up well in the face of Colombian intimidation,roughing up the penalty spot was a new one on me.What to say about the penalty shoot out ?..........hopefully a Ghost laid to rest,we shall see.If Sweden play like they did against Switzerland i think we have every chance of beating them.Good Luck England  :)

Fair play to England they were the better team and deserved to win especially after the Columbia's antics. Thought they were good for the first 20 minutes then lost there way a lot .

Colombia - bit of a disgrace really, I'm quite impressed that none of the England players did a Beckham ala against Argentina 98. Bit nerve wracking last night but they did the job and onwards.....

Felt sorry for Japan but Belgium didn't give up and made it through, not sure if they've got anything in reserve. Hey Issac I'll keep an eye for ya' - yesterdays games were on SWR1 though.

We'll see what the weekend brings  :)

Well done Belgium. Very pleasing result. the cup will be lifted either by a new team or a team that has only lifted it once before.

Yes totally agree well done Belgium they played really well and deserved the win.I also thought France were worthy winners too,it is really open now.I hope Russia deliver tomorrow (i have nothing against Croatia) but it would be nice for the home nation to get through especially after all the stick they got before the tournament (worst Russian Team ever Etc.) Oh yeah...................come on England  8)
