Italy is out. Some dubious performances and an even more dubious (in a different sense) referee and that's it.
I doubt Uruguay will go much further if it keeps playing like this, with the likes of Chile, Holland, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Belgium etc. around.
After the bad result of the first match against Colombia (although we played OK), and the defence of the 0-0 with 10 players against Japan, we played very nice today and we are in the 16.
I feel happy
Lets see now how many European countries will make it into the 16.
Regarding the rodent-like Suarez: As Glenn Hoddle said, if someone did that on the street they'd be going to jail, surely this is a matter for the police, theres plenty of evidence to successfully prosecute!
Even I can't defend him this time. I do wonder if the spineless FIFA will do anything though. IMO he should be banned from the rest of the tournament, and that's a crying shame as he's a wonderful player.
This animal is bitten Bane Ivanovic last year and got away with a small ban.
btw, Jack Wilshere statement of the day, after England - Costa Rica match:
"We are professionals, we had to play for a bit of pride and show we really do love playing for the country. We showed great character to deal with the heat and not let our heads go down.
"We were nervous in the first half, it was important to get the ball down and the last 25 minutes of the first half we dominated. We created a few chances and we are just happy we didn't lose all three of our games."

looks like hes being chucked out of the tournament...
which begs the question, how many times do you suspend someone for biting before permanently banning them?
Imagine if it was an office job: "and that's Luis from accounts - great worker, just keep your distance cause he might sink his teeth into your neck"

A record breaking performance from England, isn't it? Our worst performance in World Cup finals(?)
That Suarez just bit someone again. So yeah a bite more exciting. :lol:
Oh jeez, not again, ffs
worst since 1958, not sure if it includes that or earlier
Yeah I keep hearing that, but haven't we failed to qualify before. Why isn't that worse?

i suppose they mean its the worst performance IN a world cup by us since 1958?
Yeah I see what you mean.

We should start a new triangular tournament for sides that used to be good (in England's case that was some time ago!).
BEWARE THE SUAREZ !!!

Was watching on ESPN 2, went for a snout came back the wife was like did they not even bother playing?
I was like er yeah this should be the second half the ref's just synching the times of the games....
No ESPN 2 switched to the same game as ESPN :lol:
We're that sh*t :D
I feel happy

Or are footballers immune from the law?
