That sucks. :( I more blame the ref though, than the Colombian player who made the foul on Neymar. If the ref had control of the match, it's likely that wouldn't have happened. Players on both sides probably thought they could get away with murder, with how unbelievably lenient the ref was in...

I bet he wishes now that he had been booked in that match! lol Then again, it was his corner that lead to the first goal last night, so would Brazil have won without him?

Exactly. And I think the Brazilian players did their fair share of that themselves last night to James Rodriguez! Also, Neymar himself was very lucky not to be red carded in the first game against Croatia... that's just the way it goes in football.

Yep, the ref was very poor. Overall, I think Brazil deserved to win, though they only played well in spurts. After the penalty, it was all Colombia, but they didn't do enough earlier in the match, and that cost them. The first Brazil goal was incredibly sloppy, and Colombia should have defended...

Agreed. The French showed a surprising lack of fire and desire considering it was a world cup quarter final. Germany weren't at their best, but they didn't need to be. France didn't push them the way they should have done in the second half. The Germans did what they do best, being clinical and...

Which is classic German tactics, when's all said and done. lol The game certainly wasn't terrible, I've seen a lot worse in this world cup for sure. But it was far off from the classic which it had the potential to be. In the end, Germany did just enough to win it, and there wasn't enough...

Well, Glenn said the bonus tracks were different to the rest of the album, which is why they are bonus tracks, as opposed to regular album tracks. It can't be that they allude to 70's Priest, because there are elements of that already on the album. lol A couple of the bonus tracks are just over...

Haha! :p Well, I'd have certainly picked Lukaku as one of my least favourite players for Belgium in this world cup, until his star turn when he came on in the game last night. lol He did more in the first 15 minutes he was on the field last night, than he did in the whole of the previous two...

@CriedWhenBrucieLeft - Is posting lists a bad thing? hehe :p @Forostar: Spot on. The first World Cup which I really engaged with (and which started my love for the sport) was Italia 90'. And I'd say I remember the wondrous displays from Cameroon (including those wonderful goal celebrations by...

In order, the teams from the last 8 I'd like to see win this world cup: 1. Holland 2. Belgium 3. Colombia 4. Germany 5. Costa Rica 6. France 7. Brazil 8. Argentina

@Forostar - LOL I don't think there's much need to worry. :) There can be an upset of course, but I think Holland will just have too much for Costa Rica. As long as the Dutch are switched on, and don't underestimate Costa Rica, they should win quite comfortably. Costa Rica looked poor against...

Yep, I already had withdrawal symptoms on Friday, and that was only one day without games. lol

And just for fun, and because I'm such a geek, here's what I believe to be all the lead break credits on the album. :) Dragonaut: Richie/Glenn Redeemer Of Souls: 1st solo - Glenn/2nd solo - Richie Halls Of Valhalla: All solos - Richie Sword Of Damocles: Main lead harmony - Both/ Solo -...

The thing I find weird, is that Glenn said the reason the 5 bonus tracks were not put on the actual album, is because they sound different to the regular album songs. As the album itself is pretty diverse, that comment is quite perplexing... which makes me even more intrigued to hear the bonus...

I've listened to the album 4 times now, and the more I hear it, the more I like it! About Halford's lack of screaming... he actually screams quite a lot on the album, and more than I would gave expected at this point in the band's career. Of course, they aren't the ear splitting, crystal clear...

Couldn't agree more on everything you've said! Belgium were definitely the better side skill wise, and I think that class was what ultimately told in the end. Although they did ride their luck near the end! I don't think they were expecting the Americans to have such spirit and heart after going...

Okay, here's my take on the album after a couple of initial listens: The album is actually quite diverse, and certainly way more diverse than you'd expect after Glenn's comments that the fans should expect a much more direct album after Nostradamus. In fact, there are quite a lot of nods to...

Ah, that's true! They certainly have had a fair bit of luck to see them through thus far...

And you could also say the same for Brazil and Argentina, neither of whom have played particularly sparkling football in the tournament so far. :P Germany didn't play particularly poorly yesterday, they just lacked their usual killer instinct in the final third. It was as if they were rattled...

You're welcome! :)
