Football. Football will win. (By football I mean soccer)
Goal! No goal! Wait! Goal!
I will explain what happened for those of you who did not watch the match. And if you didn't watch the match I pity you, because it's been hilarious. I never thought I would enjoy a 3-0 France win but the Honduras strategy of kicking the smurf out of anything in a blue shirt has been rather lovely. The sending off was tame compared to most of the nasty little digs they've gotten away with. They have full on wasted a couple of the French players.
Anyway, Benzema fires in a shot at the far post, it hits the inside of the post, goes across the line and the keeper at the near post fumbles it over the line for the briefest of moments before throwing it out. Ref immediately gets the signal on his fancypants watch and says goal. Honduras protesting. Big screen then shows the incident... and shows the initial shot hitting the post with goal line tech and then declares in big letters NO GOAL. Honduras flipping their trout, crowd are going ape too. France are like "well you gave the goal you can't ungive it!" And THEN they show the right incident of the keeper fumbling the ball over the line xD
Such a comedy game.
Dirty cheating Hondurans. RIP Wilson Palacios

Tell you what: Those guys would make a great rugby team
Argentina struggled more than I expected with Bosnia. Honestly, I hadn't seen much of Bosnia coming into the World Cup until I had a chance to see them on a friendly weeks before the kick off, then I realized they had some solid work going on in their team with a good, solid defense. Still, I expected much more from Argentina.
Now for the US debut today; bet they can't wait to take 3 points away from Ghana.
The same Ghana that beat them in the last two World Cups?
I called the exact minute for every goal after the first - including the disallowed one - in the Switzerland v Ecuador game. Will try to replicate this during the next match, because I could well be the next octopus.
Disappointed I didn't stay up for the France game now.
Slept through the 2nd half of Argentina v Bosnia: Sad that I missed both Bosnia scoring, and Lionel Messi actually scoring
Germany v Portugal next....THIS GON B GUD
Saw some highlights whilst at the gym. smurfing hell. xD
Can't wait for this one, and admittedly I'm glad ITV have got it. I haven't followed this topic for a few days and don't fancy trawling through 18 pages of it to see if this has been mentioned, but my lord was Phil Neville's verbal dysentery... sorry, commentary atrocious for the England game the other night. Give me Andy Townsend's 'call it like I see it' approach any day, at least he might get excited for this game. Apparently the BBC received 445 complaints about Neville.
Mercifully the BBC have the alternative commentary option on the red button, Scott Mills or not I'll be listening to that from here on out.
It's on at 5pm and I don't get home 'til 7pm. Boo.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Gives you time to settle in for Iran vs Nigeria at least...
Christ, yes. Absolutely horrendous. "He took the player down to stop the attack. We call that a technical foul." I wanted to tear out my eyes with my cutlery.
They do!? How do I access such -Mercifully the BBC have the alternative commentary option on the red button
