I stand by my earlier comment. England were the worst side in this entire competition. Anyone who thinks there's any chance whatsoever of competing in the euros in 2 years time is off their rocker. It's frightening how far down the pecking order we are now, and to teams we would have been expected to slaughter not so many years back.

Algeria can leave that match with heads held high. Valiant effort and if they hadn't lost their legs near the end they could have been in a shoot-out right now.

Algeria unlucky. Germany are going down against France - they are so woeful at the back, especially Ballsucker.
Best match of the tournament so far.

Yes, riveting match. Given they have just played a 120min encounter, and France didn't, I expect France to edge it on friday (which goes against my original prediction the work World Cup pool of a France v Germany QF with Germany winning).

They were poor until the water carrier changed his tactics, taking Giroud off and playing Benzema in the middle.


If he starts with Griezmann out on the left and Benzema in the middle I think the French will have a field day against the Germans.

I just can't see it. I can see exactly what you're saying, though, and there's absolutely no question he got it wrong from the off, but I can't see past the Germans on this one. Happy to be proved wrong. It's a disgusting cliché, but every game IS a cup final now, and anything can happen. There, I said it.

Wonder if the Swiss defence will have as many holes as a Swiss cheese ?!!!

Shaqiri has easily been the best player on the park.

Very poor game on at the moment

0-0 never tells the story of a game

Germany v Algeria last night was a great game for incidents and action this game between argentina and Switzerland is pants

Hopefully this goes to penalties with the Swiss scraping through after Messi misses his spot kick.

Not that surprised really- I had a feeling this would happen. The 2006 World Cup was great during the group stages. but faded a lot in terms of quality when it got to the knockout phase.

Absolute sitter missed. Another thing I've noticed in this World Cup is how all the nations I despise get all the luck.
