Somewhere, Sewelly has lifted his head from what he was doing, and is now making his way towards the nearest internet cafe. The Standard Liege forums won't hear the end of this.

Messi next.

For some reason I thought Zidane was seen as a bit overrated by some, obviously not.

What a fucking depressing weekend of football.

Looks like the Marty Party only has J2Os and mini sausage rolls on the go. They seem to fit the description of "mediocre" in every way.

For what it's worth, I think it'll be 1-1. Sunderland will look to scrape out a victory but they won't be good enough.

A half dominated by Senegal?

That cross was soul-crushingly bad.

This is really bad. Well, beautiful I suppose. Fucking international breaks.

This commentator seems to think good goalkeeping and defending is beautiful. A lot.

Drogba's still got it. Gervinho still doesn't.

Tiote.

Interesting attempts at goal so far.

Zokora is Ivory Coast's most capped player?

Next up, Zizou. http://soomaalidamaanta.com/ciyaaraha/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/zidane1.jpg Seems to divide opinion. I thought the way he controlled the ball and moved on the pitch was a joy to watch, but sometimes he wasn't that effective despite his brilliance.

John O'Shea. Just generally, John O'Shea.

Something I read about TV power in Norway.. I'm sure Kaiz et al will know more but it seems Brann fans in particular have been actively protesting at games about televised coverage of games - i.e. moving it to stupid times, moving it at late notice and the such. Something appears to have worked as there won't be any Monday matches anymore for the 2013 Norwegian season, the last Sunday match won't start any later than 7pm and all TV games must be announced a minimum of 6 weeks beforehand. I think that's the case anyway - any Solskjaers know more? Also, with the chaos in Spain with all games kicking off at a different time over the course of Sat/Sun/Mon, I wonder if we'll start to see stronger calls in this country about televised coverage of games fucking fans over? Or are Sky etc just too powerful?

Class win that Kev. Best not to imagine what it would've been with Holland -2 and Belgium -1. Got a high stakes fiver on Stevenage, Brentford and Swindon-Coventry draw. I'm doing better not actually looking at form and the such and just going for my instinct.

2-0, guess who scored. it won't be a shock if you tell me Falcao lol Couple of lovely goals n all. Bloke is on fire at the moment, hope Atleti can keep him 'til summer. What was it his teammates said - you can hoy a fridge at him and he'd put it in the back of the net? I'm not sure they used the word "hoy", mind.

2-0, guess who scored.

He says with just a hint of neatly disguised cynicism.

Eddie Johnson as well. Good to see him continuing his good form after carrying my Brentford team to FA Cup glory. Wasn't he in the Dutch league? The caption on the highlights I was watching had the A&B scorer down as "Blackstone". "Yeah, Dexter someone, something like that, yeah that'll do." The commentator kept calling him Kevin as well.

USA needed a last minute goal to beat Antigua and Barbuda? Fuck me.

Great hatrick from Pedro in the Spain game.

This really should be near 10.
