Say Shunwick, this thing with Denmark and France being worse than any other teams... sounds personal, not very neutral or professional.

The France Denmark game was an obscenity. That is why I am not happy with either team. Both teams have superb players and they conspired to serve up a plate of tripe.

Best wishes,
Steve


Well I agree that the game was not the most watchable, but both teams were thinking strategically (advancing to the knock-out tournament) while you are asking them to be tactical (play an exciting game). The Danes should have been more aggressive, especially during the last 10 minutes where they were certain to advance, no matter if they lost... but some or perhaps even most of the blame should lie on the French shoulders, who showed up with a team playing with 6 reserves!

One of the greatest cheaters, indeed. Taught a whole world that cheating pays and foul play gives advantages in football.

Edit: And no, he did not score the goal of the century.

And I do not agree with your multiple, negative, statements about Mourinho. That does not make a me a fan.

Although it is apparent that you are a fanboy of Maradona. And therefore your idol made no wrong. And he simply must be best because you idolize him. Or what?

And that his goal was the goal of the century is certainly debatable. And, in my humble opinion, very short-sighted.

Brazil 2 Serbia 0. An enjoyable game to watch. Serbia had their chances but Brazil were much more clinical. Brazil started slowly in this tournament but they are now stepping up their game. Brazil top the group.

Switzerland 2 Costa Rica 2. Not the game I watched apart from the last few minutes. Costa Rica mad a game of it apparently. Switzerland finish in second place.

The last sixteen pairings then:- Brazil v Mexico and Switzerland v Sweden.

Best wishes,
Steve

Brazil vs Mexico - tasty

Sweden vs Switzerland - a great chance for one of these 'less celebrated*' European nations to progress. So pleased for Sweden. They had a really tough qualifying group, the toughest play-off draw and then a really bad World Cup group. They've overcome them all - don't blow it against the Swiss!

*Sweden would be classed in that way but, had they won their home World Cup and not come second, their record would actually be better than England's....

Status: offline 		Let's see...

On one side there is Spain and Belgium (big names and good players). Croatia too (= talent, and talent is what buys you titles; in The Twilight Zone coaches do that). On the other side, all the big names: Portugal, France, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, England and Mexico...

It's going to get ugly and bloody on that crowded chicken coop. I predict hilarious massacres, very enjoyable matches

I still think Spain won't get too far (weak defence, the attack less incisive: this side is not like the magnificent, full of talent 08-10-12 team: Xavi is indeed missed). Belgium should make it to the final.

I did not call the France - Denmark game an obscenity because they failed to produce an exciting game. I called it an obscenity because it was a dishonest game in the mould of West Germany - Austria 1982 and why the crowd booed both teams off the pitch at the final whistle.

Yeah me too. They know how to play the beautiful game properly. As said before, the only problem is they are so ruthlessly clinical they tend to break the hearts of teams that should have won - Hungary 1954 and Poland and Holland 1974 are stand-outs - but then so is England 1970 and 1982 and in the Euros 1996. There are countless other times too.

And even when the Germans produce a rubbish team they are still able to get to the final of the World Cup (2002).... Most countries can't get to the final with their bestest ever team. Germany did it with one of their worst. Amazing.

Disgraceful and stupid. At that point in the game Japan were going through having the better disciplinary record. So both teams just walked around the pitch passing the ball making no challenges, making no effort to attack simply playing out the final 15 minutes where absolutely nothing happened. Stupid because Senegal were throwing everything at Colombia and could at any point have equalized putting Japan out.

Essentially Poland and Japan agreed to call an end to the game on 75 minutes as a 1-0 win to Poland.

Best wishes,
Steve
