Aye he is a complete idiot. A biter one at that. His commentary was a complete emberassment both in bias and content. I do not know how he keeps his job.

Muntari and Boateng given indefinite suspensions. Muntari for attacking a Ghanian official and Boateng for a sweary rant at Appiah.

That's the Seppos through to the next round, then...

A Suarez prototype?

Banned for 9 matches and 4 months. Don't get it really, but there we go. Let's give him a reasonable concession, just because he's a talented footballer, eh?

Sanctions like that have no teeth at all.

No, I can see where you're getting confused, but we were on our own - no mates of mine to laugh at her

Besides, I hope embee never becomes a boxing judge, if he can't tell a slap from a proper punch.

Either way, she goes down the same. Glass jaw, even after all these years.

There's some American fan saluting and grimacing patriotically (and quite horribly) as he shouts the national anthem....     

Oh by the way,

USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!

Krauts high stepping all over 'us'.....

Ghana's keeper doing his best impression of the fixing Nigerian keeper. Comical palm straight to Ronaldo, straight in front of the goal...

So Greece was the only one of the pigs to survive.

Have you stopped yet, Furri?

Belgium: too much plinky plonky, not enough vvoosh.

And Steven Defour is a total wanker - that was one of the stupidest nothing fouls I've seen, blatant meaningless red card as soon as it happened

Meesterr Puteen wants a word with Crapello.

Just Heemself, and Crapello.
(And the man in the darrk syuit behind the doorr, fyeetting the silencerrr. Sheemples.)

Welly well well, so Algeria secured the draw v Russia they needed to progress, and eliminate the Ruskies. Well done them!!

As Petey alludes, Putin might just about rip Capello's nuts off.

yay the Algies, Ricans and greeks

"A GAMBLER in Norway has won more than $1000 after betting that Luis Suarez would bite another player during this morning’s World Cup blockbuster between Uruguay and Italy.

According to AftenPosten , Norway’s largest newspaper, Thomas Syversen bet 32 krone (about six Australian dollars) before the match at odds of 175/1. So when Suarez chewed on Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini’s shoulder during a spiteful second half, Mr Syversen earned himself a nice payday of $A1092."

----------------------------------------

The punter added “This is probably the sickest bet I’ve handed in, not to mention the sickest bet I’ve won,” Mr Syversen told the AftenPosten".  

What shite odds. I'd be fuming.

And what a World Cup.

Hamez Rodriguez - phwoar. I came good and hard at his last goal even though it lost me a £300 win in the 90th minute. He don't smoke crack, motherf*cker he sell it.

Messi's free kick - phwoar

Algeria -  

given the Greeks have outperformed the Poms, surely it is time the Elgin Marbles were returned

It's been, what, 30 minutes of attack in all? At least they've been good enough...

Yeah, lucky there wasn't a broken leg. Terrible challenge.

Only long enough to burn a few effigies.

How do you say 'effigy' in German?

They're good though. A very good side. They barely run, because they don't have to. Their positional awareness and first touch is so good that they barely have to move out of position. They took a 45 minute battering against a clueless but exceptionally high tempo Korean side and still managed to win with 10 men.

James. Only pretentious wankers pronounce it "Hamez".

Fine player, though. Shame he went to Monaco for the money rather than joining a proper club in a proper league.
