Nice to see them take defeat in such a sporting way. Manhandling officials.
Hope they get banned for the next WC
 
There we go. Uruguayan threatening all sorts to the officials especially after not reviewing a potential penalty for a foul on Cavani.

Have to say I would have given it but what do I know?

Got to love the naive, unbridled enthusiasm of both Japan and South Koreans.

2nd half Swiss v Serbs a bit of a damp squib.

Well we’re into the last 16. Who’s favourites then? Brazil for me

True but the end to the Brazil v Cameroon game was a bit of a doozie. Cameroon captain heads a superb winner. Already booked but takes off his shirt anyway, second yellow then red and smiles at the ref and everyone else as he trots off.

Then Guimares, I think, does a Lukaku and shoots over from 2 yards.

This World Cup is crazy.

You know there are some footballers I could watch every day and not fail to be overawed by.

In the 70’s it was Cryff. In the 80’s Maradonna. It goes on but Lionel Messi is just extraordinary. He has been unbelievable in this WC. A sheer joy to watch him. 35 and he’s got the energy of someone half his age.

Just brilliant<applause>
 
Right, being the sometimes pedantic a***wipe that I am, I will point out that Mr Barrett was known as Shaky not Shakie.
It's a Penarth thing.
LOL but it’s neither - it’s Shakin’- it’s an Ely habit to drop your aitches:emoticon-0105-wink:
