Any particular reason why Belgium aren't using Januzaj?

Webb's alright in the grand scheme of things. Compared to the likes of Phil Dowd and Mike Dean he's freaking Collina, plus I just find it amusing that an ex-police officer is officiating games.

Jaysus, Neymar out with fractured vertebrae. Didn't think it was that serious initially.

@supertuna: I guess his world cup is Neymore

Brazil are going to win this world cup and we're all going to wonder how.

My name's Andy. Whenever the word "and" is uttered I always have to do my best not to react.

If there's going to be an upset then this is the most likely match to have one happen. Belgium have been unimpressive and don't have a Messi to bail them out.

What do we think of the Van Gaal love-in here? Martin o'Neill looked notably peeved about it on ITV.

I lost my balance at KFC and fell on a piece of chicken at lunch today.

@notnert427: Oh, no, I'm glad you're all rallying behind your team. I just find the whole I believe campaign bleedin' cringe worthy.
