    My days. What a game. Why Honda didn't start I do not know - were they thinking he was past it at 32?

    Thought he looked poor when he came on. Slowed them down.
  • Great game. Glad the Belgians won as they can beat Brazil.
  • I have got such an irrational dislike for Roberto Martinez - whenever i see his face i have the urge to punch the TV.

    Belgium have been a team of quality players that haven't really gelled - that's the kind of result that could galvanise them into a team.

    Them vs Brazil could be a cracker.

    And we've already had possibly the 3 best World Cup games I can remember.
  • Great game and gutted for Japan, Lukaku's movement off the ball for the 3rd was quite amazing!

    I know. You still see some of those C50s still knocking about.
    Very reliable and known to start in all conditions

  • Got to say Martinez got those subs right.

    I think my gran could have got them right .

    And can't agree with you re Martinez, ricky.

    It's Fellani's face that winds me up...

    SO disappointed for the Japanese. What great energy, skill and determination.

    Bless their cotton socks.

    What. A. World. Cup!

    Get out.
    In my defence, my Great Granddad came to England war wounded from fighting the Germans in WWI, so I think I have a pass.

    There's a reason he was exiled.
  • Looked at that for a full minute before realising!
  • Messianic
  • Come on Brazil and knock the scummy jammy twats out

    Not for me, I could not care less about the Roland connection. After watching a poor Brazil and that diving, whinging, cheating Neymar I hope Belgium send them home.
    Same here.

  • Me as well. Neymar is a joke.

    Tonight’s game. Belgium 3-2 Japan
  • Still Portugal V Spain for me.
  • France 4-3 best for me so far.
  • France 4 Argentina 3 was the best game so far for me.
    Belgium 3 Japan 2 was the best 2nd half.
    Portugal 3 Spain 3 was the best Derby so far.
  • Got to say Martinez got those subs right.

    Subs right= Starting XI wrong.

    Tonight’s game. Belgium 3-2 Japan
    Tonights was great but not the best game but definitely the best 2nd half!
    4-3 France v Argentina looks good on paper but Argentina were actually never in it.
    Best game was Spain 3 - 3 Portugal, but where are those two now?
  • Something about Brazil...
    Love their musicians, can't stand their football team. And that number 10... there's a way to cheat in style. Just to think of the lovable cheats of yesteryears like the Romanian master Gheorghe Hagi, or the Bulgarian Stoichkov.
    Oh, those were the days...
  • Does everyone appreciate that these players are not wearing soft soled running shoes but hard studded football boots?

    Obviously Neymar was trodden on and the Mexican should have received a red or yellow card.

    But even the 7 year old who was watching with me commented on Neymar's play acting.

    Please tell me you did recognise that his rolling and writhing was acting ?
    Not to mention the fact that he was as right as rain straight after.
    Try pressing down on something with the front of your foot with your ankle on the floor at a similar angle. It's an extremely weak muscle. There's no leverage. I'm sure it didn't hurt one bit.
  • I had to record the Belgium-Japan game last night and I'm catching up with it now. Fellaini has just equalised so I can only see one end to this now. Japan have been very impressive and if they had a couple of 6" 3' centre-backs they'd still be in the lead.
