Still a bad game, but more entertaining now.

That's the fourth or fifth time he can't hold on to a relatively weak shot. Horrible goalkeeping.
From both sides.

I expect a BBC rant about keepers punching the ball in 5, 4...

Remind them that the best save ever was by Banks vs Pele, and that Banks didn't hold Pele's header.

I'd forgive Akinfeev if that was the kind of quality coming from the Koreans.

Back to snoozefestery. I hope both get raped by Walloons with no lube.

Iran -Nigeria, or this. Which was worse? Russia disappointed me more than Nigeria.

Glad I watched Brazil - Mexico on fastforward/internet, bit of a snorefest.

Easy, Russia-Korea was entertaining in the second half unlike Iran-Nigeria in both halves.

Yashin, Banks, Shilton, Maier, Dasayev. Those are my top five keepers.

Is Fred really international class? He seemed very weak today, losing lots and lots of balls. He doesn't play in Europe, which is usually not a good sign either.

He used to play for Olympique Lyon until 2009, but he was never a lights out striker there, or now that he's back in Brazil. That's rather telling about the lack of quality players in certain positions in Brazil, such as striker or keeper.

Watched the 2nd half with my kids in the auditorium. That made it very entertaining.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Have there been any games worth watching?
I've only seen a replay of the England and Brazil games so far. So freaking inconvenient. Damn you Americas

We play for our lives tonight against Chile. Nail biting is saying little about how the game will be.  :ph34r:
