World Cup 2014

I picked a bad evening to work up hours but srsly this tournament isn't throwing up many duds tbh

Depay has been really good, even aside from the goal.

this is exhausting & awesome

If it keeps up, it's gonna come to blows.

The day Depay was brought in at Holland, Van Gaal and him immediately had this super click. I think Louis is secretly in love with him, as am I.

(He's got 'Memphis' on the back of his shirt because his dad left them when he was a wee boy, and he doesn't want his dad's surname on his shirt)

Sneijder is shit btw

Lol @ the inflatable Socceroo covering its eyes.

some rumours that Ronaldo's tournament is over

Well... That was another great fun roller coaster! This WC...

Won as soon as there was danger.

Poor Socceroos :( such heart in fairness

ugh I need to lie down :(

WE ATE THAT KANGAROO STRAIGHT FROM THE BARBIE

Pissed I missed the third Dutch goal but I'll catch on replay. What a match!

well we put a windmill up the dutch's hopes for a blowout, that's for sure :D

Chile: Bravo (c), Mena, Isla, Silva, Sanchez, Vidal, Vargas, Medel, Jara, Aranguiz, Dias

Spain: Casillas (c), Martinez, Azpilicueta, Sergio Ramos, Iniesta, Pedro, Xabi Alonso, Busquets, Jordi Alba, Costa, Silva

Thought Spain would go full tiki-taka but seeing how Chile couldn't cope with Cahill in the air the physicality of Costa might be useful. Glad to see Pedro in.

It's probably like 6 in the morning in Australia now, right?

Damn! Missed this one:(

Hah you sure did Veg

my brother was watching back home and the power went out in his neighborhood at half time, lol

By wall, I mean a partition rather than a brick wall, but still all a bit mental.

Xavi a goner. 46 mins to wait..

Simon Kuper on twitter:

I'm not sure why but 100+ Chilean fans just ran into media centre at Maracana. Stewards trying to remove them. Glass broken, walls damaged

earlier today on r5 robbie savage brought up the picture doing the rounds on twitter of him and thierry henry, describing it trying to seem all casual but with a hint of indignance. co-host laughed and went to move on but not before savage piped up with "but i've got more followers on twitter!"

Stoked for Spain-Chile now. Some minor changes but why no Koke? If they can't get their groove back on they're toast.

jesus

impressive Chile acapella national anthem there

hahaaaa come on Chile!! get rid of em

defending not much better than friday

rooting for spain
tiki taka 4 lyfe

90 seconds in, two uncontested balls in the box... Not a great start, Spain.

if the crowd acapella'd god save the queen i would find it horrifying

i love spain but my heart lies w/ lols

love this sort of football, chile are fighting so hard for possession

Spain hasn't shook off their dead man walking posture yet.

Loving Chile's intentions.
