    An appalling miss by Ghana. A headless corpse would have scored there.

    I feel sorry for Suarez. Banned from all football activity for four months ... Can't even go for a five a side up the astro or a game of world cup around the side of the shops!

    Is Suarez banned from the 'game' for 4 months or just the matches he'd play in that time? Can Liverpool sell him before his ban is up?

    They can sell him, but I assume his value will take a hit. There is a question over whether he will be allowed to be registered for the CL as there is also an "admin ban". I think he is banned from being in stadiums and playing in games for 4 months and 9 international games


    Suggestions on what game to watch next? My choices all week have been brutal :(

    I think the poor fcuker needs counselling to be honest. He must have some sort of underlying issues to go out and bite someone on 3 separate occasions.

    I know they don't have a hope against Germany but I'm still delighted they made it into the last 16. ^___^

    I expect one big shock of some sort in the knockouts. Would the US beating Belgium be a shock?

    A shock, but wouldn't really surprise me, Belgium haven't exactly set the world alight.

    I think Chile will beat Brazil.

    Brazil,Spain,Ghana,Russia,Portugal,Italy have all been massive disappointments so far. But England need to take a long hard look in the mirror.

    I think Belgium have been solid if unspectatular. A good bet for a semi-final spot.

    If you mean officially worst worst, then you'll have to wait for FIFA to announce the rankings at the end of the tournament. But yeah, roughly, least points + worst goal difference would make a team a good shot to be ranked in last.

    That'd be Cameroon, I think.

    Belgium are a good team that nobody seems to really take notice of.

    I reckon Brazil, Uruguay, Netherlands, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Argentina and Belgium will be the quarter finalists.

    Uruguay beating Colombia without Suarez? Colombia are class!! I'd nearly put money on them to win the cup.

    Who are the favorites?

    I stuck a tenner on Germany after their first match, they really have to up their game if they want to win it though imo.

    I'd say you're nearly guaranteed winning some money with those two, I don't fancy Brazil at all.

    Probably a terrible match though. Argentina would knock seven shades out of them.
