They must be really good at photoshop then... It looked pretty clear in real time.

Costa Rica/Greece score updated. Cheers Steve.

Brazil have got some amazing players, but clearly no depth up front if Fred and Jo are anything to go on. How the hell is Jo anywhere near this squad!?!?

Brazil (1)3 Chile (0)1 Colombia (1)2 Uruguay (0)1 Netherlands (1)2 Mexico (1)1 Costa Rica (0)1 Greece (1)1 France (1)2 Nigeria (0)0 Germany (1)3 Algeria (0)1 Argentina (1)3 Switzerland (0)0 Belgium (1)3 USA (1)1

It's ridiculous that any of the parties involved are considering appealing any ban. On what grounds they think it will be overturned I haven't got a clue. Biggest bans I can think of are: 1) Cantona: 9 mths for assaulting a spectator. 2) Mutu: 7 mths for cocaine. 3) Duncan Ferguson: 44 days in prison and 12 games. 4) Di Canio: 11 games for pushing a ref. These were for all intents and purposes, 1 off incidents whilst Suarez has been guilty of the same offence 3 times. As a one off, biting is bad enough and has already seen him banned so it is common sense that he should be bannd for significantly longer. Legal arguments and stupid people trying to justify it all should make interesting reading.

Costa Rica (0)2 England (1)1 Italy (1)2 Uruguay (1)2 Greece (0)0 Ivory Coast (0)2 Japan (0)1 Colombia (2)3 Bosnia H (1)1 Iran (0)1 Nigeria (0)0 Argentina (1)4 Ecuador (1)1 France (1)3 Honduras (0)1 Switzerland (1)2 Portugal (1)2 Ghana (1) 2 USA (0)2 Germany (2)4 Algeria (1)2 Russia (0)1 S Korea (0)1 Belgium (1)3

I've done similar in school games. Warned all he kids beforehand, basically saying there's no need to appeal or throw yourself about. If I think it's a foul, you'll know because I'll give a free kick but if you start with mouth or cheating, you will leave my pitch. Kids look at you as if you've gone out at first.... And then when I start giving free kicks against them they soon suck it up.

Australia (0) 1 Spain (1) 1 Holland (1) 2 Chile (0) 1 Cameroon (0) 0 Brazil (2) 3 Croatia (1) 1 Mexico (2) 3 Just in from work. Will finish the rst afterwards

Definitely be keen on this one!

If it's genuine, and someone from the PL has wind that it's been leaked they will not be the opening day fixtures.

Nikica Jelavic Jo Tim Cahill Baines, Barkley, Jagielka, Segundo Castillo Phillipe Senderos Joseph Yobo Tim Howard Shkodran Mustafi Marouane Fellaini, Kevin Mirallas, Romelu Lukaku 15 in total, although it feels like a lot more because we've been linked to so many of them over the last few seasons.

Lots of rumours beforehand that teams had been quoted upwards of £8m for Caulker, so not too sure how realistic £4m is.

This has made it on to the SSN website now aswell. Yeltsin.....?!? I wonder if there's a play on words there somewhere.

They will have seen that Baines is one of the best attacking wing backs in Europe and a significant threat, and said 'let's make sure we pin him back and make him defend more. Also let's try and keep Rooney quiet' .... Et voila. Right winger presses on, Rooney doesn't work hard enough in defence to cover.... Italy have overloads all day long. I agree that Baines should have done much better for the goal, but Italy got it tactically bang on, and managed to contain the threat.

Ha ha... bit unfortunate

Cracking finish lad! Put a blue shirt on him and that is vintage Cahill!

Wow..... Spain are Under genuine threat of not getting out of the group after that drilling! Agree with you there Rubes, did not expect goals galore in this one!

Based on the number of soft penalties I think Brazil are going to get, I'm going to change my guess to Neymar. Last nights penalty was as soft as they come.... Can you imagine getting one of those in the Premier League? Can't complain though, as I got Brazil in the sweep. Lol

Being fairly widely reported at the moment. Can't say I know much about him though.

Young American centre back, who has played for Germany at youth level. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9346888/transfer-news-john-brooks-wanted-by-host-of-premier-league-clubs

The way he runs with the ball reminds me a little bit of Pienaar. At 2.5m that could potentially be one hell of a steal, my only concern would be if he was strong enough for the Premier League. Defenders might just Hak-im down.

Wouldn't mind this too much.

Pretty pleased with yesterday's effort.... Managed to get Brazil in the sweep at work! If I don't win at least £20 for getting to the final, I'll be really pissed off.

Jeff?
