  1. Don't mention the war No beat us in too many penalty shootouts.....
  2. Wimbledon yes but we had a fantastic final between Sharopova and Halep in the French...If one player plays really well and the other freezes a bit 2 sets isn't long enough...
  3. Yes Kvitova hasn't done a lot anywhere else and I think Bouchard and Halep are the future of womens tennis.
  4. Nobody should want a player to be seriously hurt no matter what they think of them.
  5. If Belgium play open like they did against USA. Argentina will make em suffer They won't but history is against them. I think Belgium have the best squad of players in the tournament but they have to finish better than they did against the USA.
  6. I agree at least the final anyway.... I really believe if Halep hadn't of inijured her ankle she would have beaten Bouchard and given Kvitova a better game....
  7. Yes I blame the ref for not being tough enough... The refs have been far too lenient this world cup...Get the cards out early and stop all these nasty challenges, I thought we had seen the end to those days...
  8. Big shame that Neymar is out of the world cup because of that awful challenge. Its the ref to blame for not cracking down on the wreckless challenges in the game. I changed my mind. i hope they beat Germany....
  9. Him and Silva missing thats it for them I think. Shocking challenge on Neymar I thought. The ref could have stopped all these bad tackles with some early bookings.
  10. Yes he also said that Belgium wouldn't get far in the tournament.
  11. and certainly not the style of the 70 or 82 Brazilians which I think is the yardsticks by which all Brazil teams are compared
  12. Yes It certainly is and a great book too
  13. I agree Brazil edged the game but the style of play and spoiling tactics are just not the Brazillian way. I would hate this Brazillian side to win the world cup so I'd like Germany to knock them out
  14. The first time I saw it back when it was released I found it very scary... Now i wouldn't
  15. Yes Colombia started playing too late.....
  16. repeat of 74, No Silva and is Neymar going to be fit. I quite fancy Germany to beat Brazil...
  17. Brazil playing like Stoke or Palace..
  18. Great freekick. Colombia haven't done enough really
  19. The second sentence pertains to the idea of retrospectively applying criminal sanctions that were not in place at the time. So the courts weren't being 'more lenient' with Harris - they were dealing with him in the due way that the law applied at the time (though I may have read that sentencing guidelines don't quite follow that now - stand to be very corrected, please). If you, useless, commit a crime now, in 2014, when the maximum sentence is 2 years and you don't go to court until 2044 (when the sentence for the same crime is death), would you think that it's fair? I know you've said that you think the reverse would be but I don't believe you've thought that or the implications of the whole of your suggestion through. Sorry, mate. It's beyond crazy. I guess this is a crude example but if the punishment for murder in the 1950's was to hang someone but they are not caught until 2014 should we hang them now 'applying the relevant sanctions of the day against the guilty actions'? If I myself were to commit a crime now but not be charged with it for another thirty years I may think that sentencing of the time is unfair but not because the crime was committed along time ago. You say what I'm saying is beyond crazy and knowing me it probably is as I really don't know what I'm talking about but to be honest nothing you have written really points to the reason why it's crazy but I'm happy to learn. Good point. No you couldn't be hung now for crimes commited before 1962/63 when the death penalty was abolished
  20. Its the worst Colombia have played in the tournament.
  21. A bit more than that.... Pete Townsend had a load of kiddie pictures on his computer and he didn't get charged. I'm not trying to defend what he did... Anyway I'm finished on the subject. Come on Colombia!!! He didn't, actually. He'd got as far as entering his details on a download site, and then thought better of it and stopped. No actual pics downloaded, no prosecution. Another case of someone who was himself a victim as a child, being - in this case - borderline fascinated. Sad, but not in this case any sort of offender. Ok fine time makes me forget..
  22. How did Brazil get away with charging that freekick? Rediculous biased Ref...
