With the lackluster way they are playing now, the Seleção may not make it to the quarterfinals.

Here in Brasil, for mental and spiritual reasons, we need a weak Cameroon to lie down and be subject to a goleada.

Was Song's elbow a petulant payback for an earlier injustice?

The schadenfrede, the schadenfreud! At both matches the Brasilian crowd has really let Costa have it, but tonight when he left the pitch is was thunderous.

Oh, you are right. I have tickets to the England-Uruguay match in SP tomorrow, then a day off, then the Cuiaba match on Saturday.

Sorry for the typos. I am drunk literally and figuratively over Chile's win. They were exciting to watch. Such hustle!

That sucks. Such a drag...

Going there on Friday for the match—my expectations are quite low. (I know enought to fly in the day of the match and flight out early next morning.) Although, it should be said, the Pantanal is beautiful.

That was 13:00 local time, here in Brasil...

Please don't wish for riots. Have some mercy. We Brasilians are suffering enough with spending 15 billion USD, along with our leaders and Fifa (who don't even pay taxes on their profits).

The ref was on the lenient side, definitely. He's a great player and leader, and the Seleção really needs him!

As a Brasilian, I agree. I am worried...

I agree. I am worried that the Seleção depends too much on him to be the big play-maker, and he is being triple-teamed as he approaches the goal. I have been to two matches so far, and whenever he touches the ball on a counter-attack, the crowd screams. That's a lot of pressure to perform...

So glad you see the Simpsons in football players as well. Our (Brasil) player with Side-Show-Bob hair is David Luiz.

Absolutely. That group is particularly weak, too. Argentina is lucky because if they were in some others...

The happiest loss of the Copa so far. The Bosnian crowd have a lot to be proud of. And Argentina fans have a lot to be worried about.

Bosnia scores! And Maracana explodes!

Well, it's 2-0 now, after Messi's brilliant goal, BUT for me the most exciting fact of this match is that Bosnia really brought it. They are fighting, and it's really impressive. I have tickets to see them play Nigeria next week. I will now be cheering for them.
