The Football.....

[Smokin Joe]

Mexico played a great game of football last night. Plenty of skill, open attacking play and ball to feet, none of the crap 'aerial' tactics displayed by England. And what a performance from the 'keeper.

Well played, Mexico.

To be fair to England, under Hodgson they've moved away from their normal "On me 'ead son" style of game.

True, but they need to up their pass rate and have a better first touch. I like Welbeck but his first touch is consistently awful with the occasional excellent.

Also, need to be able to take the ball while under pressure and lay it off quickly or pass an opponent. England seem very poor at making space by drawing in players with a couple of exceptions.

The flamin' Aussies are putting up a fair dinkum show against the Dutch.

What a goal by Cahill

Jesus, wtf is going on in that group?

Since the WC kicked off, fouls which are clearly mandatory yellows are being given as normal fouls, or not even given at all. It's 11 x 11 and players are not afraid to get stuck in, it's like going back in time and it is all the better for it.

No, Wales, but it feels like it sometimes.

Is it just me or do Spain lack all conviction? One half down, one left to prevent an ignominious exit, and they just....don't seem up for it.

 

[Kins]

OMG, Spain out?

Kin'ell times 2!
Andre Agassi looks to be doing a great job in charge of Chile!

Worst I've ever seen Alonso play and I'm a massive fan

Looks like the Spanish state-sponsored doping programme may have come to an end

If David Silva is on HGH, he should ask for a refund!
