    Two surprise qualifiers and Greece likely to be as tight as ever. Needs an early Costa Rica goal to open it up I'd say...

    I need both teams to score in this one to maintain my rather large league in my dream team league.

    I reckon one goal will be enough either way...

    I think so too, but I'm hoping for a 5-5 :emoticon-0110-tongu

    The only place you'll see 5-5 is a penalty shoot-out and I wouldn't be too confident they'd get anywhere near it...:grin:

    Its living up to my prediction so far.

    0-0 H/T. Unsurprising really. Neither team has ever scored before the 42nd minute in the WC Finals.

    I've been watching this match, which must rank one of the least interesting so far at the WC, so nothing really to say in that 1st half.

    Sooper, congrats on finally getting your name up in lights with the OP, but where are the babes to at least liven this match up!

    Craig Forrest, in the HT show here in Canada, who is an excellent speaker & analyst, his opinions generally spot on, has just mentioned how Robben is a serial diver, who once again conned the ref with his swan dive performance (especially for Flyer).

    Here we go again, can't get any worse than that 1st half.

    I didn't even watch the first half, I knew it would be 0-0, I was catching up on the bttc.

    I hope Greece go out just because they are the most boring team left.

    And there goes my 0-0 prediction,at least free e will have to play now. That was a taarabt special, score at 2mph.

    Finally, the breakthrough:-

    "Bryan Jafet Ruiz González is a Costa Rican footballer who plays for Eredivisie club PSV Eindhoven on loan from Championship club Fulham."

    Costa Rica down to ten men, stupid foul when already on a yellow. Have Greece got the quality to take advantage?...

    This is really a piss-poor match, how on Earth did Costa Rica win our group? It shows just how far our game has fallen in the past few years...

    Greece are very poor. I can't see them scoring.

    Hodgson has got off with that one very lightly.

    He could be useful in our squad, likely used to a fat pay cheque though.

    You have to conclude that Holland have virtually got a bye into the semi-final playing either of these two...
