Just heard that Colombia's manager is only fielding 3 of the players which started against the Ivory Coast, which I think is no doubt due to the fact that Colombia are already through. I think I'll watch the first few minutes of Greece/Ivory Coast, and if it's boring, I'll switch. :P Hopefully...

That's precisely the reason I'm probably going to watch the Japan match. lol Greece are so boring to watch.

Yep, I think we can all agree that Suarez was disgraceful, and FIFA should, as Alan Shearer just said on the panel over here, "hammer him". Oh, and Italy being defensive, is just Italy being Italy! :p Deciding whether to watch Ivory Coast/Greece or Japan/Colombia... I think it will probably...

It was a very close game, and I don't think Uruguay would have been in any way cheated had Italy grabbed a late goal. What's beyond any doubt though, is that both teams have been very disappointing in this world cup. Uruguay need to start playing a lot better if they're going to go far in the...

Based on quality of play in the 3 group games, I don't think Uruguay deserved to go through any more than Italy did. They were terrible against Costa Rica, decent against England (as were Italy) but wouldn't have won that game without Suarez, and were pretty much just as tepid as Italy in the...

Just finished watching the Italy/Uruguay game, and there was very little great football played by either team, but the last 20 minutes or so were intense! The ref definitely gave the right decision by sending Marchisio off, as it was a reckless and dangerous foul. Suarez was very lucky to remain...

Watched the Mexico/Croatia game last night, and was very impressed with Mexico, as I have been throughout the tournament so far. The game against Holland should be a cracker! :) I'm really hoping Chile can do a number on Brazil, and that should be another great game!

The way Holland dispatched Chile was very clinical, and matter of fact. They never dominated, and at times, were actually under the cosh, but any time they got the ball near the Chilean area, they looked dangerous. And unlike previous Holland teams in more recent times, who had great...

Algeria 4 South Korea 2 Algeria did play well, but Korea only have themselves to blame, as had they replicated their 2nd half performance in the 1st half, the result could have been in their favour. Another great game though. :) @Night Prowler : Yep, I'll be rooting for the USA too!

Great game between Ghana and Germany! I think a draw was the right result in the end, as both teams had periods of domination, and the rest of the time it was fairly even. :) The Bosnia v Nigeria game should be very interesting... Nigeria were awful in their first game against Iran, but Iran...

Precisely! If Argentina are going to win the tournament, they're going to have to start playing much better. They were lucky to win both of their first two matches, and against better sides they will be punished for sub-par performances like that. Looking forward to Germany v Ghana!

Thanks. :) Yep, the production just adds to the dystopian, futuristic vibe of the song. It's the one song on the album that actually benefits from the cold production. Whereas songs like Hard As Iron would have benefitted from a warmer, more organic production, and having Scott Travis behind the...

He could repeat that all day long though, and no-one would get tired of it, unlike that line in Angel And The Gambler. :p Iran played really well in the 2nd half, and much better than in the first game with Nigeria. They definitely deserved something out of the game. :( Messi did hardly...

Ram It Down is perhaps the most difficult album to dissect in Priest's entire discography. I've always viewed it as like a mixture of Turbo and Painkiller. It does have a very artificial sound to it, but somehow is also a touch rawer than the previous album. It retains some of the sun-drenched...

The Japan/Greece game last night was a very poor game, and became even worse after Greece had a man sent off... All England supporters will be Italy fans for the next two games, so come on the Azzurri! Switzerland v France has the potential to be a classic, really looking forward to that one...

Full time - Colombia 2 Ivory Coast 1. The 1st half was so dull, but it exploded in the 2nd! Ivory Coast deserved something out of the game I feel, but great, great game!

Oh Gervinho! What a goal! 2-1 now, breathless stuff!

2-0 Colombia! The first half was so boring, but the 2nd has been very exciting. :) Ivory Coast have got a very hard job now to come back...

Goal for Croatia! Have to say, that came against the run of play, but one moment of quality was all the Croats needed! Decent game so far. :)

@Dr. Eddies Wingman - That is very true. Hopefully Cameroon will throw caution to the wind, and have a right go at Croatia. I'll always have a soft spot for Cameroon because of their performance at Italia 90', which was the tournament that got me interested in footie. :)
