Make fun all you like, but it just wouldn't be the World Cup without the obligatory mentioning of 1966 at least 5 times during a game, regardless of who's playing.

Well, that was fun!
Being Australian, I no longer have any interest in football now that we're officially out. I feel that we went out on a pretty good note though. We weren't the favourites in any of our group matches, so to come away with a loss, a draw and a win isn't too bad at all.
Off to watch Wimbledon! Gonna check if that Mahut vs. Isner fifth set is STILL going. It was 53-52 when I left it. (edit: play stopped due to bad light. It's going to be a match played over at least 3 days with over 10 hours of on-court time.. wow)
'Football' returns to being 'soccer' in 3...2...1...
Oh there you go. MOTD is showing the 66 win!
>>> The Germany vs England match is going to be interesting
>> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..
That Italy game went crazy in the last 20 minutes or so - great game in the end, but Italy have been very disappointing in this tournament, they only seemed to come to life when it was too late. They really didn't deserve to go through that's for sure. New Zealand can probably be pleased with how they did - unbeaten!
And Japan 2-0 up! Two nice free kicks from them. For a team who was meant to have had an awful build up to the tournament, they haven't looked bad at all here. And poor Sorensen, having a nightmare.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
smurf yes Martin Skrtel smurf yes Slovakia, out you go Italy.Just a shame the Slovakians tarnished the win a bit by play acting at the end.
Also well smurfing done to New Zealand for going the entire World Cup unbeaten. Major props.
Some sick free kicks from the Japanese.
Worst Dutch game yet. It's so like our country to rock the preliminaries and to cop out on the stuff that matters.
It's pretty much a dead rubber game, aren't you being a little harsh on them? They're going through top of the group probably, a winnable second round game ahead, at least they're not Italy or France.Originally Posted by Aerith's Knight

Come on Japan! Also excellent game between Italy and Slovakia!
Yeah, that Italy vs. Slovakia game was pretty mad in the end. Quite exciting actually.
Yup, some pretty sick free kicks. And yeah, I feel pretty sorry for Sørensen too.
Well, at least Robben shows his worth. If we wouldn't have won this, I'd have been pissed.It's pretty much a dead rubber game, aren't you being a little harsh on them? They're going through top of the group probably, a winnable second round game ahead, at least they're not Italy or France.
Nice goal from Japan!!
Japan are doing a good job. They deserve to go to the next round, and Denmark deserve to go home. Like, really.
Yeah its a shame really. Was kind of rooting for Denmark before the world cup but they didn't play very well and Japan definitely deserve it. Nice to see Tomasson get his goal though.
Yup I wanted Denmark to win at the start of the game, but it looked like only Agger and Rommedahl gave a toss whereas the Japanese fought like, well, Samurai. Will be a tasty game, Paraguay v Japan.
