Think i'll swerve the hate-watch, the thought of rat bastard scoring isn't something I want to see.

Ivory Coast coach might have killed someone if Ecuador scored at the end, total heed the baal

Hadn't heard of him before today. Was all excited to finally see Diomande play, and he has been really good too but Singo MOTM

Yep, some energy this late in the day

What a run down the right side, brilliant and great finish. Think they've edged it this half

Ecuador coach looks like the assassin from Grosse Pointe Blank

Another fun one

"Japan need to stop crossing so much, get it down and play". 30 seconds later

Seedorf in good nick there.

Agreed, I just have a view that it's a very practiced and cynical thing that is rewarded with a free shot at goal from 12 yards. Just my opinion. You're right too, the replay wasn't very conclusive but i've seen this so many times, I hate that it's become an accepted thing to bend the rules and exaggerate contact. There'll be two views on all of these probably.

Is that why he had to drag his foot deliberately on the ground and collapse his legs 2 seconds after the "contact"? Bullshit, modern day pen. Hate it.

Wankertz

Virtually no contact at all and of course not overturned, useless pricks

I hope they do but they have the look of a team who will dive and con and be effective from set pieces enough to get through to the latter stages. Hopefully someone will destroy them first knockout game.

EURRRGGHHH. These fuckers are gonna be annoyingly effective in this tournament
