So Group C fizzled out rather than reaching any climax and the qualifiers from Group D proved to be the two with the most quality in the final reckoning.
Argentina will have to up their playing level to progress much further; though round of 16 opponents, France, look bang average at present, too.
On to today’s fare……..
Group E looks fairly straightforward unless Serbia can pull off a shock. Neymar will use any means to annoy us with his theatrics. Leave it at home, mate; you’re a great footballer – that should be enough.
Granit and Shaqiri escaped bans for their soaring eagles celebrations, so if the Swiss qualify, Arsenal should have at least two representatives playing in the Round of 16.
Group F could see a three-way tie on 6 points if the Swedes can beat Mexico and the Jarmans overcome pointless South Korea.Β Though Mexico should be too strong to let things slip.

Thanks Chas
The combination of superb summer weather and an excelllent world cup is a perfect distraction from the usual june transfer pantomime
and you’ve missed the fact that we have signed Neymar
diego yesterday was priceless
was he off his head, he looked as if he was
hm, thanks for the post chas and for keeping this site ticking
not much to drool over today, maybe serbia v brazil.

As we fast come to the conclusion of the group games there is a seismic change that we need to adjust to, from 3 games a day to days off between games. Its going to be hard.
VP – we are not playing again till sunday and it’s only against boring Danes, not much to look forward to
When a great chap

Anyone know if the rules for players having blood on them has changed
During yesterday game macherano was running about with a bloody face and they didn’t even stop him from playing
Fred. I noticed that too. Strange.
If Serbia beat Brazil and Switz do Costa Rica, Brazil and that cheating pouffter Neymar are out
Game needs some Mesut Magic
Crikey, if results stay as they are, ze germans go home

This is tense

Football. Shit game π π
Brilliant 45 minutes of football. Best of the WC.
amazing π
Mexico fans. Unusual to see people celebrating as they lose 3-0 to a very average team
germany suffer the biggest national defeat since the battle of Stalingrad π the whole world is laughing
Lol I enjoyed that lose couldn’t have Mexico going home now can we
I asked the Polish girl in Bargain Booze if she’d seen that Germany were out, and she said that it mattered nothing as she was Polish.
I said I thought the Poles didn’t much like the Germans.
She looked a bit puzzled, as if Germany losing was irrelevant if Poland were already out.
Obviously not a proper football supporter!
Fredster
You’re right up for the Concacaf teams aren’t you?
Representing your bit of the world.
Panama aside, of course!
stupid cow, don’t talk to her anymore
on the other hand my english friend was walking home in the City of London to a train station tonight and a complete stranger kissed him on both cheeks mumbling ‘Germans are out’ π π That’s the spirit
I was gardening in Cuffey when a noise greater than the one from Mama Mia twats broke out. I didn’t know what happened until I heard neighbours shouting ‘korea scored!’ That’s the spirit
The stupid polish cow is from the generation that don’t care. That is why poland are out because of people like her! No national pride
I’m sure she realised it was partly her fault, that was why she was so pissed off.
She’s scrubbed off my Christmas card list already.
that’s the spirit π
i am afraid all footy fans are a tad odd
Yep
