  1. Honestly David James was never this consistently bad IMO...
  2. Beats me, I thought it was given for the keeper decking a forward in the head with an attempted punch, after the fumble. Pretty sure there was enough of a foul in that scramble to blow for the pen anyhow.
  3. That last one was far more nailed on than the first shout. Landing from an aerial challenge with your arms up is arguably a 'natural' position, but charging to block a ball with your elbows flared just gives the ball more chance of pinging off them, penalty all day imo.
  4. I was rooting for the underdogs, but to be fair if you play for penalties you usually don't win and that's deserved. They showed they could play, so they had to try and go for it at some point earlier than the 24th minute of extra time. Massive credit to them for getting to the QF though.
  5. The refereeing was bad but I don't think it was worse than, say, France - Chile.
  6. Brazil have been cynical and shit, but for me Colombia just haven't done enough. Terrible decision making and delivery in the final third. Would have loved to see them progress but they just didn't earn it in this game. Brazil had 2 good set pieces, Colombia offered very little to speak of.
  7. I counted 6 minutes in the penalty buildup and Neymar treatment alone. 5 is pretty easy on Brazil.
  8. My thoughts exactly. Also it seems dubious to me that 15 minutes further exertion in heat like this would present a serious health hazard. A 'break' is what half time is for. As Hoddle implied, this all just seems like a trial run for the even greater heat in Qatar.
  9. I thought Chile came closest in ET with that shot thundered onto the bar.
  10. Great call and a brave one. GJ the linesman and Webb.
  11. It's strange because I actually rated him a little and think he didn't get a fair shake at Villa. Having not watched him in a while and now seeing him at this WC, he looks utter wank.
  12. That pitch in the Japan game looks proper shit. A Colombian just stacked it over on a divet and face planted while dribbling.
  13. Two great balls toward the channel from lampard so far.
  14. Dunno wtf they are on about, it was a rare nice build up from England but the defender just got between sturridge and the ball. Never a pen.
