Can't see the goals flowing in Costa Rica - Greece, hope I'm proved wrong.

Very much looking forward to Netherlands - Mexico. Will be a shame to see Herrera go out, brilliant character to have on the sidelines.

Their central midfield Herrera's decent as well.

On the face of those two teams I agree. But on the other hand based on how this WC has gone so far I would not at all be shocked if it ended 4-3 or something silly like that.

Watching it in Amsterdam, should be a good buzz!

Just switched on for this match, Adrian Chiles...

Full on sweaty, Ray Mears tribute act he's got going on.

They should at least attempt to hide him behind that table!

 

[Nine while nine]

Just switched on for this match, Adrian Chiles...

Full on sweaty, Ray Mears tribute act he's got going on.

We got Chiles, he's speechifying
And I've lost my remote control
And the moisture he's supplying
It's terrifying

Oh, he needs to shape up...

If Oranje win

If Oranje win

I bet they're in a 'coffee shop' ...

 

[CosmicHotspur]

De Jong off already.

 

[DuDe]

De Jong off already.

Indeed. I wonder if he was showing signs already of "being a naughty boy"?

EDIT: Ofc, it may be tactical.

Well, he's not the Messiah.

 

[tototoner]

Must have been injured or carrying a knock

 

[DuDe]

Mexico picking up where Colombia left of yesterday.

 

[DuDe]

Ooooh, that was close for Mexico.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Mexico looking more dangerous so far. I think that could change before too long though; Holland haven't got into top gear yet.
