Had all the time in the world to control it, pass it, etc.

What a knob Vela is.

Double orgasm.

Reference made on BBC radio to a Scottsman in South Africa supporting the South African team (apparently has "ABE" tattoo'd on his forearm - acronym for "Anyone But England" according to him) who has managed to attach 6 vuvuzelas to a bagpipe to give a "vuvupipe" or something of that ilk. If anyone finds this story online be sure to post it in here - I'll believe it when I see it.

92 minutes in with their team beaten comfortably - and they're still blowing.

Has Hitzfeld had botox or something? Looks a bit weird.

Hope Hitzfeld runs onto the pitch like Mourinho against Barcelona.

Navas, the Spanish Aaron Lennon.

Iniesta is harder than your shit.

Can imagine Chris Hughton right now, feet up on the table watching games like this, thinking "yeah...this is how NUFC will avoid relegation next season. Parking the team bus in front of goal. Clearly it's hard to score against."

Jesus Navas coming off. David Silva coming on. According to BBC's GUI there.

Fast winger (Navas?) + good aerial striker (Llorente?) imo. An unfit Torres might not be worth the gamble with Spain struggling through the middle.

Press conferences are fun though. Wonder how long it'll be before we see empty stadiums for games but 50k attendances for press conferences.

Take that Spain. Karma for picking Busquets.

That'd explain why an average player is being pushed like this by club/country then.

I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like supporting Barca at the moment. I can. It's just like managing Newcastle in FM, but cheating by editing the database and turning all the Newcastle players into super-players. Then sitting back and watching them paste every team they come across.

Still baffles me how Yaya Toure has made way for this useless bastard.

Can't wait for the day that Barcelona and Spain realise that Busquets is a nothing player. What a waste of a world class midfield spot.

Apologies, a flat back five is cutting edge attacking football these days. HOW THE f*** DO YOU WANT THEM TO PLAY AGAINST BRAZIL, MAN? Being a neutral fan - I just want to see teams give it a go, they've quite clearly got some decent players. I can totally understand why they are doing it and so far it is working, it's just not creating a good spectacle for people. It's not just the World Cup either, the Premiership is exactly the same. There's far too much at stake now for teams, the game has unfortunately moved away from the beautiful side of which it gained its reputation. You can thank Mr Mourinho quite a lot for that IMO. The press conferences are entertaining though.

Felipe Melo sucks balls.

Expecting to see this go high/wide.
