    Definite handball for me. Don't think it was a pen first half either.

    Chile been brilliant. Webb had a very good game under enormous pressure.

    So we're going to penalties - a bigger lottery than JPF's new scoring system!

    Players worth a look from the world cup for PL sides:

    Diaz - Chile - Solid holding midfielder, rarely gives it away (Tiote take note). Plays for Basel.
    Layun - Mexico - attacking left back who can also play on the right. Versatile and difficult to face as he can go either way. Plays in Mexico for America.
    Aguilar - Mexico - Solid right back. Plays in Mexico for America.
    Aurier - Attacking right back for Ivory Coast. Good crosser of the ball and good all round game.
    Feghoui - Algeria - At Valencia and useful attacking midfielder.
    Cuadrado - Colombia - Attacking midfielder fiorentina. Very unselfish and creative. Cracking player.
    De Vrij - Dutch centre back who can play full back. Very solid. feyenoord.
    Depay - PSV attacking midfielder looks very direct and pacey.
    Besler and Zusi - Both at Sporting Kansas. Besler solid looking centre back, Zusi a dead ball expert and good passer of the ball.
    Aránguiz - Chile - tidy midfielder brilliant at getting in between the lines. Plays in Brazil for Internacional.
    Costa Rica - Take your pick. Gonzalez, Duarte, Borges, Gamboa, Tejeda - All impressive in their respective roles and completely undervalued heading into the tournament.

    Managers - Jorge Luis Pinto (Costa Rica) José Pékerman (Colombia) Miguel Herrara (Mexico) Jorge Sampaoli (Chile) - give me any of these guys

    The big goals are coming out now, not quite in Rodriguez category but cracking strike by Dos Santos. Can Robben raise his game when it matters?

    Not sure about Dutch keeper but nowt he could do really.

    RVP looks completely disinterested. Maybe the heat but looks like he did for Man U. must be injured?

    2-0 That's gotta be the US done now. Still, they can return home with their heads held high.

    Great Free-kick routine that was. Deserved a goal.
