France demolishing the Swiss, 5-0 at 73 mins.

I don't think they're finished yet either.

5-2 the frogs eat mouldy cheese

but

shouldve been 6-2 as the last goal wasnt allowed as the ref incorrectly blew his whistle for full time whilst the french were in an attacking position and the match was in a continuous motion.

Bad blunder for the ref who did the champions league final

Yes, very bizarre.

Should have been 6-1 really if the frog wall had kept their legs closed.

This is the BEST World Cup I've seen - watched every one intently since Spain '82.
The rise of the 'minnows' is what's great about it.
The Africans & Asians are mixing it with the best from Sth America & Europe.
The story of the World Cup so far is Costa Rica - will top the most difficult Group, beating the Semi Finalists from 2010 & Winners from 2006.
Ghana were superb this morning v Germany.
Nigeria & Ivory Coast could well go through to 2nd Round.
Holland must get a point from Chile to avoid Brazil in next round too.
Loving this Tournament :D

Yep African football has defiantly been on the rise for a while now and they really could be the next powerhouse continent in a couple of World Cups time.

The Asian countries are also starting to really mix it with the big boys, both Australia and Iran have mixed it well and South Korea could progress from their group.

Been hearing that about African countries for the last 20 years.
Cant see an African country ever winning it in my time, they have always been decent attacking but their defense is usually non existant and they are always prone to brain fades.
They were embarassing in their continents WC and whilst 1 or 2 may get through to the second round in Brazil I cant see them going any further.
Bosnia were deadset robbed against Nigeria, another blatant goal disallowed. The offside officiating has been a disaster at this WC, have now seen atleast 3 or 4 goals disallowed with guys 1m onside

At 0-1 the commentary may now actually be neutral in the second half.

Quote 'Australia so far so good for pressure by far the better side' lol :shock: :roll:

Not sure what game I'm watching clearing not the same as them. Australia missing Cahill like a pie without sauce it just doesn't work. Although the commentators think were on the back of some stupid run.
