Well I'm significantly better off after Colombia vs Uruguay. That's three matches this tournament where I've felt odds have been far too good to not place a decent amount of money on the winner.
Really pleased Uruguay went out too, was gutted for Chile earlier, thought Jara's penalty was better than the two that had them saved.

shocking isn't it, must be common to chew on people in Uruguay! But this attack seems to have been committed by an Englishman who had this weird idea that the victim couldn't possibly support England because he had dark skin. Maybe this cretin also thinks that goals scored by players who cannot provide evidence that all their ancestors for 43 generations are indisputably English should not count.

So Clarke Carlisle thinks Robben should've been penalised for NOT jumping for a header...? *bangs head repeatedly on table*

I was a bit sleepy when I read the article so missed that bit. Wow. Makes it even worse. I mean sterling, ox, sturridge, wellbeck, walcott, walker, johnson, a cole. Half our teams mixed race/black. So why the hell has he travelled to brazil to attack his own people. I mean tickets and flights are not cheap. Need a spare 2 grand atleast

I have a couple of excitable Mexican commentators on ESPN.
Should have heard them there as the guy shot on goal.

A couple of stats from yesterday.
Chile have been knocked out by Brazil in the last 16 of the last 3 World Cups they've appeared in.
Last night's win over Uruguay was the first time Colombia have ever won a knockout game at the World Cup.
For today's games:
Mexico have never won a knockout game at the World Cup outside their own country. Mexico have lost in the 2nd round at each of the last 5 World Cups.
This is the first time Holland have faced a non-European team at the last 16 knockout stage.

A heat break.
Apparently it feels like 97 degrees on the pitch.

A heat break. Apparently it feels like 97 degrees on the pitch. And Glenn Hoddle thinks he's played World Cup matches in much higher temperatures.

So Clarke Carlisle thinks Robben should've been penalised for NOT jumping for a header...? *bangs head repeatedly on table* Good old Clarke Carlisle, "Britain's Brainest Footballer"; and former chairman of the Professional Footballers Association, who is so bright he got done for drink driving at over double the legal limit: www.prestoncitizen.co.uk/archive/2011/10/12/9299462.Burnley_s_Clarke_Carlisle_banned_after_admitting_drink_drive_charge/As for this match, fingers crossed for a draw at 90 minutes, although to be honest it looks more likely Mexico are going to win it in 90 minutes, not least due to the heat/humidity factor; but the Dutch have players who can win the game with one piece of brilliance, so his is rather intriguing to watch at the moment.

Definite penalty
Two Mexicans foul Robben inside the box.

If Qatar keeps the 2022 World Cup, this is the kind of game we can expect. 64 times.
