    If Robben had done what he normally does instead of staying on his feet it would have been given! Definite penalty...

    Hopefully that'll force Holland to play a bit now. They've been dire so far

    Ends 3-0 Mexico. Dutch can't cope with this heat.

    He doesn't look fit. Or he was abysmal.

    Mexico got what they deserved, so negative against a team that Robben aside, resemble Cork City. Honourable mention for Kuyt though..

    You're right that was pocket talk. Had RVP to score at any time. Shame cos I expect he would have taken the pen. Mexico got what they deserved alright. No ambition after going one up

    Holland are 5/1 to win the World Cup!! Fck me. They are atrocious. Beyond words, their 'midfielders' and defenders have to take 2 touches to control the ball. I am harsh on Brazil but can obviously see something. Holland have zero chance.

    Argentina now have to be the bet. They have to beat Switzerland, Belgium and Cork City + Robben to get to the final.

    The more I watch this World Cup the more I'm thinking England missed a massive opportunity. It's so wide open every team looks beatable if we had just got out of that group we would have grown into the tournament.
    Arguably most exciting World Cup I've seen but the standard for me is phish poor.

    Largely agree with that, but England are work in progress with promise.

    Surely Italy and Spain are the ones kicking themselves.

    Agreed but again think Italy are average at best and got what they deserved with the way they set up against Costa Rica and Uruguay.
    Spain are notorious slow starters for me and in that group they just couldn't afford to. End of an era for them but they still have plenty of classy young players coming through they'll be back with a few tweeks.
    The other thing I'm wondering about is how much the gulf in European football to the rest of the world is closing and what it's down to. Champions league???

    I took a profit of around 150 from BF from earlier bets, and have left Germans at 7s and Colombia at 16s - that's all.

    That covers one side of the draw and the Argies have a great chance on the other side, hence 4s not a bad bet.

    I'd happily back every team during the tournament at the right price ...

    Missed the game this afternoon and only saw most of the second half on +1.

    I can't comment on how Mexico (or Holland) played but what on earth was Marquez doing giving away that penalty so late in the game. Robben had lost control and there were two other defenders close enough to make any further goal threat minimal. If there's one thing you do not do with Robben it's give him an excuse to go down. That, if for no other reason, is enough to make me say Mexico maybe got what they deserved (and I was on them).

    Hoping Greece can do something against Costa Rica but that's only because I have a lot of time/sympathy for big Sami.
