They can't show close-ups on Blatter on the big screen because every fan of every nationality reserves the biggest boo for him.

Don't think anyone wants to admit it but the quality of football in this tournament is in the main low. Especially in the final third. They keep calling it the best World Cup ever, not sure what they mean by that but they can't mean in terms of the quality of the football. Remember the Argentine, Brazilian and several other teams of old, the passing, speed, fantastic goals. This World Cup isn't in the vicinity. So far no classic games. Some good games, but no classics.

But Messi, Di Maria and Higuain are on the pitch, the football must be silky and sexy!

At least that's what the script has ordained, because in reality we know fuck all about football even though it's our job to watch it.

I'd reserve it for Hansen.

[Niall_Quinn]

Memory is really inconvenient when it comes to PR. It's shouldn't be allowed.

[Niall_Quinn]

That's a bad miss, the Swiss should be a goal up. Awful defending.

[Marc Overmars]

Hate shadows on the pitch.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pubbish effort by Lavezzi.

[Niall_Quinn]

Djouou beats Messi, Di Maria and Higuain. And he has no idea how he did it.

[Master Splinter]

Pubbish effort by Lavezzi.

It's Argentina, surely it must have been purposeful great skill like Schurrle last night.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Scrotish tackle there.

So much for Swiss neutrality.
