Didn't really need the negative Brazil axis.

It could just be the broadcast I'm getting, but the stadium seems eerily quiet today. Seems the Chileans fans are not that worried about facing Brazil.

I'm not American, but as a futball fan, I would say the proportion of people who are in it for the game is more or less the same everywhere.

No, you're just an idiot.

Wrong. When you lose the ball in midfield so badly and so unexpectedly, your defensive shape is totally off and there isn't time to regroup. That's why quick counter-attacks are so effective. It was most definitely no-one's fault but Bradley's.

Pepe isn't playing so that seems unlikely.

You are the worst.

Oh God, is it group H day already? Better get some coffee brewing.

In fairness, only idiots fail to realise that cheating implies trying to get away with it.

Ah, thanks.

Great game not to have an open thread for guys.

All of the above. 'his' referred to Aguero, who is Maradona's daughter's ex.

Oh man, utterly devastating for Iran. They played so well and actually had the better chances. Just cruel.

I think that was his daughter.

Fantastic.

Given the ludicrous no-call on the penalty shout, I'd say you're right.

It's like, I want this game to suck so I would have a good excuse to walk away, but it's very watchable. So I guess I'm sticking with it. Dammit.

Ecuador with a strong entry for best goal celebration, with head-coach and assistant-coach showcasing their 'We Have Scored But It Is Hopeless' number. Soapy, poignant, Latino. 8/10

Dammit I know this game is going to be terrible but I can't look away.

I know Gerrard headed it, but if it glanced off Cavani's head first it's still offside.
