    Also... Apparently there will be a new ball used for the KO Rounds

    Fully expect there to be a little motor inside for Putin to control during the Russia games

    Bit odd, doesn't make sense why they change the ball half way through the tournament. Hopefully it shouldn't make much of a difference

    Exactly the same ball with a different pattern isn't it?

    Looks like its just got red rather than black pixels on it

    Hope its nothing more than that... People will say its just a ball (which is true) but still odd to be doing that half way through the Tournament - Probably be one with gold pixels for the Final

    Think this is a bit of a myth. Firstly you can't see Messi say anything, and secondly i've seen it said on a spanish site that Sampaoli says uno a uno which was the score at the time in the Iceland game

    Its the way Messi speaks to the bloke behind Sampaoli combined with the latter looking absolutely baffled that makes it look the way its been written on the tweet... Wouldnt surprise me though if its complete rubbish though

    With the demise of Tunisia, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, FIFA has been retitled 'Football isn't for Arabs'.

    Least its Messi who scored

    Dont regard him as Argentinian... Although that fat fuck can piss off thanking god, was an insult by the BBC to show that

    The BBC have no control over the live match feed.
    Never let little facts get in the way of some BBC bashing.
    The bbc showed it again during the post match analysis and discussed it.
    And we are on our 4th page of discussion about it on it's own thread.

    Only brought the second ball in so they can sell more footballs.

    Anyway, good games today. I think Mexico will beat Sweden and finish top. Germany runners up.

    Also think Brazil will turn it on tonight.

    Same here, and Germany v Brazil in the last 16 would be good!

    That would imply I'm 'scared' of gay porn. As opposed to not really wanting to watch it with me sword in me hand...

    Angelique Kerber had a match starting at 1.40 she said she wanted to watch as much of the Germany match as possible

    50 minutes later and half hour before the Germany game starts
    Kerber win
    6-1
    6-1

    Middlesex 48-6 against Kent

    Clearly they want to see the Germany match as well!

    Sweden win and Germany draw would be just beautiful.

    In reality though i expect Germany to win by 2-3 goals.

    Jonathan Pearce- "German might regret the red card to Boeteng as he is now suspended for this game"

    No actually they really wont, they will be better without him

    If Germany and Sweden win 1-0 then it goes down to Yellow Cards for all three sides

    Based on how its worked out; Germany will be eliminated thanks to that red card... Unless of course Sweden and Mexico lose their heads

    Must be the Plymouth ref in charge of the Mexico / Sweden game

    Apparently Ochoa (Goalkeeper) handled it outside the box... No booking yet free kick to Sweden

    Yes but with Boeteng they wont win and it might go down to fair play

    Without Boeteng they win and it doesnt need to go to fair play.

    That red card has pretty much sent them through
