Russia seem a lot more willing to attack than they were with us. Suits me fine since we could use a big Belgium win

Put your life savings on Korea so we can celebrate/commiserate together.

It would be incredible for our football if 2 or 3 of the nations can make it to the knockout round. The continent generally has always shown its potential at these tournaments, but it has always been one at a time carrying the flag. Depending on the results later today, four of them could have the task right in front of them on the last matchday. Sorry Baba, settle for three.

Please score

Sorry KaKa, I want you to concede so Shola can come on and score the winner

Yeah, I now feel comfortable saying that the last game was all Iran's fault

Go Nigeria!

I think I want Germany and Klose to win his tournament now

Ballack: "Oh, John Terry? He still owes me a Champions League title." I love this guy

Greece in the knockout stages

Ugh, Honda's going to hit this, isn't he

I'm talking in general, not about Carr. I assume you work in some sort of business, is having strong relationships with your clients completely useless to you? It's no different for football clubs.

Can't imagine how bad the meltdown in Japan would be with a greek goal here

Japan are so much fun.

It's not useless, given that we're a side who prioritise bargaining leverage first and suitability for the team second. A real PL club with ambition would have little need for it, mind. Don't be silly. Even if you were Man City how could it possibly be useless to have somebody who's chums with agents/club officials who will give you the buzz on hot new prospects and help facilitate deals.

Never finished above us at a World Cup Tide has to turn surely.... Oh, they've been better than us for a couple of years now. But still, never.

Never finished above us at a World Cup

Team like Greece is their kryptonite. They can't break this shit down.

Probably Greece's best chance this tournament to be fair

What the hell was that?

Ballack: Japan, they need big guys but they.. er... don't have them. (uncomfortable laughter)

Japan all fart and no shit, Greece shitter than shit. Both teams exactly as expected.
