    As I said before I will watch 38 PL games no matter what so they should be entertaining.

    A world cup that lasts 5 days (and was effectively over after 1 day) provides little entertainment.

    Trying to be objective, the Greek football is honestly no more boring than England. If I wasn't English I wouldn't watch us.

    All the best chances in this game have come from Greece.

    Just like Suarez, once people have an idea they see what they want.

    Only one winner in this game now. C.Rica look dead on their feet and with 1 less player can't see them scoring.

    Need to hope it gets to pens and then their team can muster the energy to actually take them.

    You're making inappropriate comparisons. At least where my view is concerned and you quoted me. I believe lack of skill doesn't mean lack of choice of style as these two prove...as do Belgium and Uruguay by the way in the same way as Greece.

    1) Most would agree with your assessment of England so don't know how the comparison is a defence of the equally dull set up and application of the Greek team no matter their opponents.

    2) Again, you're arguing like I'm making a wrong assumption (a la Suarez) I'm not dissing the Greeks because I once heard they played dull . I'm dissing them like I dissed Pulis Stoke in that they play the same ****e regardless the opponent every time I watch them. They reduce the match to a nothing. It's in my opinion dull...If you like watching it, fine but don't relegate my view as if I was told it by others or follow a cliche .....I watched their entire winning Euro campaign and found it a tragedy to entertaining football....personal preference if you like <ok>

    Tactics wise it's obviously sound and gets them higher than average results.....

    Who knows, Costa have the better GK, but the rest of the team just look cream crackered.

    Good shootout, no misses just a good save

    People will still call it a bad game despite being nowhere near the dross Brazil have served up all tournament

    Gotta feel for the guy that missed.

    C.Rica v Holland will be a decent game though.

    I hope Costa Rica win, or at least it's not decided by another Robben dive
