Anyone else watching Switzerland v Colombia? I missed the Egypt game. I've definitely had the short end of a very ****ty stick.

Exactly. FIFA will punish them for casting doubt on the integrity of the rules of the game. Without any hint of irony.

Yeah I much preferred Belgium’s ‘ overturn this ‘ reply yesterday.

I’ve watched the 2nd half on & off. Hardly the goal fest I’d hoped for.

3 minutes into ET and 3 players down writhing in agony. Just blow for FT now and go straight to penalties saving us from this pain

Yes Colombia have clearly decided acrobatics are likely to win extra time.
This is like watching paint refuse to dry. In slow motion.

So true. If it goes to penalties it’ll probably go 20-19 or something

Yes, like 'dig that out'. It was classic.

I think I'd expect 0-0 after going through each player twice.

I thought the Paraguay game the other night was funniest for the turn around in Micah Richards opinion of Paraguayan defending, from 'artistic' after the first half to - I don't what word he used at FT but brutal / illegal would be ones I would use. I hope this game actually provides for a little turn around, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the lowest scoring but longest lasting shoot out in history.

[Tatterdemalion]

Having Andros Townsend as a co-commentator is like having one of your mates from school telling you what's what.

[Tatterdemalion]

most of those penalties were awful. Diaz's was easily the best.

[SB]

So 1 team from Sth America, 1 from Africa & 6 from Europe in the last 8.

Don’t rule out Argentina. They’re ****, but they always seem to have 12th man

[vlahka]

Norways taking the cup this year. 100%

Is that the one with the whistle? I don't really understand football.
