bosnia composed themselves well after that set back.
Goal aside, B&H are having the better of this.
aye bosnia looking reasonably handy, argentina less than impressive.
Got the Bossies in my sweep at work, but I'm really only up cause I forgot to wash the kids school uniform, quite good game though combative.
But why do many "dinks" the commentators are obsessed with "dinking" I don't get it.
dull first half
so bad im going to bed and will fall asleep with the radio on.
for those of you still up, prepare for an unmissable second half
That Messi is rubbish...
😆
I've seen Helen Keller doing better passing. Muppets.
Just as they score :-/
Top tip, the footage on www.cbc.ca (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) is top notch.
One of the classic MOTD commentators (I don't know their names) and they show every game, free, with replays of all the matches, highlights packages etc.
Better than any footage I've seen of previous tournaments, apart from the very 'american' half time show.
Typical bored went to bed by the time I switched the radio on they had scored
Still not seen the goal yet
I'm glad that numpty Jonathan Pearce is being lampooned for making an utter tit of himself last night.
Get back to Robot Wars - you've been over-promoted, son.
Joe Hart wants the ball.

All the talk is whether Rooney should play in the next game and if so....where? I think he deserves a chance to play in his preferred position and if he fails again, then time to move on.
I say 'fail' because he's a £300k per week, so called 'world class' player, but when we needed him to hit the target from 7 yds, he completely buggered it up!
1-0 germany, thought the penalty was softish, but probably just a penalty.
He was held back, bit stupid of the defender really. Nice pen, he wasn't saving that.
Müller putting it right in the corner.
This could get hummel-iating.
booo! 😀
Germany looking stronger as the game goes on!
stoopit! kinda idiot does that in this day and age?
My current snack could not be further from describing me...

Excellent.
Pepe Le Pow!

Townsend has seen plenty of games rescued from two down.
The most impressive beard in football, might be in trouble with FIFA.

Anyway. Mueller was a play acting ****.
Patrick Viera just said we don't want people to shit on the field. I second that.
That's the trouble with trying to pronounce "cheat" with a French accent. 🙂
hate Muller, if I was Pepe I'd have left him feet up in a ditch.
Killed the game but, on the upside, gave us plenty of chances to see Ronaldo"s *it's not fair the world hates me waaaah" face.
Müller should have been booked, and that incident aside, had a magnificent game. With no team to support, the Germans are my favourites so I was delighted with a 4-0. Pepe should know better than to make contact with another player's head in any game, let alone a World Cup opener. Two arseholes at that incident, Pepe was the bigger of the two. I suspect that the result would have been the same had it stayed eleven aside anyway. Tbh, I'd rather be watching Zlatan than Ronaldo.
Iran v Nigeria is not following the trend of lotsa goals..... Might have an early WC break!
Horrible horrible game. Nigeria look like they have some talent. But are organised terribly. A decent manager could probably make something of them...
Seems odd for Iran to take off Dejagah. As if anyone kan score them a goal, Ashkan kan.
Pitch looks a bit shit too.
I've seen better pub football. Hell I've [I]played[/I] in better pub football games
First damp squid of the WC.

Phil Neville is really going up in my estimation, with how he is handling the social media beat-down he got.
Thought Lennon was funny too talking about Ambrose. "You can see why I played him as a centre half." 😆 Actually, Lennon has been good in the seat.
Better start than the last game...
Well that might help keep me awake...
Looks like he just wants to get out of the game...
I know it's early days in this tournament but does anyone else think African football is going backwards?
Ouch.
No a bad game this. Hope Ghana break down the USA though. I've a natural bias towards the attacking team. The Americans are pretty solid though if lacking upfront.
This USA game is excellent
Woohoo been coming for ages. Mon Ghana one more destroy this defensive nonsense! 😆
What is known as a slow burner. Another cracking game.
Also, can someone check on Robbie Savage, he seems to have lost his shit.
Boo, hiss forces of darkness may prevail(mean that in a fitba sense!) 🙁 😆
This should make for an interesting last few minutes! Robbie does seem to have been on the meth.
That makes up for the earlier snooze-fest.
Aye good game enjoyed that. Shame for Ghana, but that's what ye get if you don't take yer chances!
Is that Robbie Savage co-commentatin? Coming out with some bollocks about how all players should sing the national anthem. Why? You can play for your country without indulging in all the 'patriotic' bullshit.
Good game that. I thought Ghana were a lot stronger, but the USa were very well disciplind.
Klinsmann was singing the US national anthem. Savage nevermentioned tht.
Roll on tomorrow.

Sleep deprivation might mean I give Russia v SK a miss.
Predictions are:
Belgium, Mexico and SK to win.
Yesterday's results have totally buggered up my predictions. Damn you Portugal and USA! 🙁
ITV should really spend an extra fiver, and get at least a few other commentator/co-commentators. As unless I have imagined it, Clive Tyldsely and Andy Townsend have done every game.
What they've done, see, is get Andy Townsend to do every game Jamie. That's what they've done. Tasty. Naughty.
For me, that's not an answer.
Actually, on second viewing. I think it is.
ITV should spend more on their web streaming as well, quality is shit!
1-0 algeria btw!
Cor! Another upset?

TVCatchup is where it's at
Like I said - is African football going backwards... 😳
DD he just said Naughty
My favourite is still this
Such startling levels of ignorance, he should post here
Gabby – Why can’t the spaniards play together, Ruud? Is it because of club rivalries?
Ruud – For sure! The Basques for instance feel no real loyalty to Spain.
Townsend – Well that’s pathetic! The coach should sort it out!
Ruud – Yes, but it’s more complicated than that..
Townsend – No, it’s pathetic! I wanna see what happens they go 1-0 down, see what character they have then!!
Much the same really, tis alright, it's only the first half I need to put up with, will be cycling home at half time for the second!johndoh - MemberITV should spend more on their web streaming as well, quality is shit!
TVCatchup is where it's at
longer this goes, I think it could be, belgium not really getting close to their goal tbh(cue equalizer! :D).lemonysam - MemberCor! Another upset?

French premium tv is streaming they don't do satellite. That's where you see the limitations of broadband capcity when 100 apartments in the same building are watching tv at the same time 🙁
Stupid penalty to give away, the guy was lucky he didn't get a red card
On Spain there was a history of only picking Real players ("proper Spanyards, no Catalans") and the resurgence of Spanish football came when that was thrown out and more Barca players where brought in.
Stupid penalty to give away, the guy was lucky he didn't get a red card
There were 2 covering defenders so unless it was a horrific foul it was always going to be yellow.
DD he just said Naughty
😆
I missed it 🙁
Was it when someone did something naughty?
Tomorrow is ITV Andy Townsend free Wednesday. Enjoy it.
@PJ but he was the runner at the back post and the ball was easily clearing the other two defenders
Tomorrow is ITV Andy Townsend free Wednesday
🙁
yellow card DD - naughty
@PJ just saw it again and yes it was a yellow only
Penalty for sure. Can't see how that would be a red card.
Given what we've seen in the games where players have been sent off, I'm all for the refs finding any reason to keep it eleven-a-side for as long as possible. Two bookables, headbutts, dangerous professional fouls, etc...yeah, red card, but if there's any question, I think the ref should keep them on the pitch.
[AndyTownsend] You need somebody to go past players.. then it'll open up & there's space & opportunities... [/AndyTownsend]
I would be a bit annoyed if I was a Belgian supporter.
So much so, I might even skip my second helping of waffles.
Naughty.
Ha! Now you're ****ed, Algeria! Here comes Fellaini
