Losing 1 - 0 is really just as bad as losing 6 - 0.

By the end of the 2nd half South Korea might settle for losing by 6

It's a shame it's not like golf, say 'that's a gimme', shake hands and head off for a cocoa.

Korea havent given up and Allison in the Brazil goal has had to make 3 decent saves to keep them down to 1 ;)

Yes. I'm beginning to think that if a team gets stuck in the Brazilians might just prove a bit fragile. The next round could be more interesting than I thought. :thumbup:

I am hoping the Brazilians get absolutely stuffed in the next round - purely on the basis of the ridiculously smug dancing they have taken to doing after scoring.

It's a bit like the all blacks doing their shouty haka thing - the rest of the world is slightly charmed by it.
It's a shame there's not an equivalent for the England team that wouldn't be ridiculous.

There isn't really anything that suits is there?

It should be a dance but the English don't really have anything other than the Morris Dance, the Hokey Cokey or the Conga.

Maybe Harry Kane could recite some poetry.?

I would have said 2-0 Spain at the start but this could be another surprise result ;)

It's all a bit 'scruffy'. Morocco defending well but Spain not looking very connected. Nothing to scare anyone in the next round. Heading for extra time methinks.

Those digital advertising hoarding are quite impressive. :thumbup:

I think that sums up how much spark there has been in the game that the advertising is what caught the eye ;)
