Really? I thought most of the second matches have been great, at least entertaining, with plenty of surprising developments everywhere. I think it is a fascinating tournament.

From here on forward, it's all third day matches and knock-out stages, nearly all the matches should be tense. It could be awesome.

It's the whole atmosphere surrounding it, it's so joyless. I don't care if we win or not I want a good game. Should be a party. My biggest gripe is the Bavaria incident if you missed it, FIFA are bastards.

I still don't understand that, they were plain orange dresses with no branding as far as I'm aware so what was all the fuss about? They actually went to court over it? And FIFA brought them in for an "interview", who on earth do FIFA think they are, has South Africa given them special police powers as a backhander for getting the world cup?

Yeah they were close to 5 months in prison because of these FIFA pricks. Budweiser sponsors it and all that.

Go South-Korea! Yeah!

What on earth were Greece doing? They had to win so they sat back? It makes no sense?!

And poor Yakubu, that was the best miss I've ever seen, a tap in from about four yards out from facing the centre of goal, with no keeper or defender in sight. Dear oh dear...
