I thought that was Blatter deflecting. When he mentioned it, it was news to the rest of FIFA

Guardado is as much of a flop in this game as in the Bundesliga for Leverkusen.

Jordan never fully understood basketball. He had the lowest basketball IQ of any NBA "superstar" in history.

Cameroon is playing pretty bad. I wonder if they will score a point in the WC

No. Lovren asked him something about penalty and he answered in Japanese. Disgrace for WC organization. At least the logo is fitting (hint: facepalm).

There is better chance that I'd get laid with Adriana Lima than Jelavić being capable replacement. Mandžukić is top 10 strikers.

you also have a better chance with getting laid with lima than mandzukic ever being a top ten striker.


Give me ten players that played most of their times as strikers (not wingers or free-roamers like Ronaldo...but strikers like Mandzukic, Fred etc) that are better than him.

Between the horrible reffing, the ridiculous amount of flopping by Mexico (even Portugal might be jealous now), and the awful commentators...this game is virtually un-watchable. At least someone finally scored.

They looked pretty good against Germany the other day. Don't know why the Manager changed Song position.

They are still busy negotiating what money they get for finishing 4th in their group.

Chicharito coming on. He's got 20 minutes to earn more playing time.
