So we are guaranteed a South American semi-finalist (no surprise there) and a first time quarter-finalist in the shape of either Costa Rica or Greece.

Only 2 European countries so far among the above, Germany, France, and Belgium are most likely to go through, Switzerland might squeeze through.

Dear Ms May, As Home Secretary you have the power to ban people from entering the UK. There's a bloke called Suarez who will be attempting to return to this country next month. Perhaps you would like to exercise that power. Yours sincerely, Suedehead Dear Ms May, Further to my letter of 19 June, I believe you now have another reason to ban this Suarez bloke from entering the United Kingdom. Yours sincerely, Suedehead

Suarez hopeful of playing against Germany in the World Cup as he quite fancies a shoulder of Lahm! (Source: various social media outlets!)

Well that was a very exciting start to the game.
Since then it's been rather sedate.

I think Nigeria would be more than happy with a draw so they're not going to go all out, especially if Iran continue to trail Bosnia.

What a pathetic goal to concede - the Nigerians must feel sick.

A bit late, but a couple of random facts:
This is the 2nd World Cup in a row in which a Group C team has scored in stoppage time to get through to the last 16 (after USA in 2010).
This is the 2nd World Cup in a row in which England's exit could be blamed partly (but by no means totally) on a Uruguay who arguably shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a football pitch (Jorge Larrionda, Luis Suarez).
