Strange - if they carry on like this, it'll be penalties. They'd found a way to unsettle them, and they've reverted to Plan A.

This is going to kick off again at the final/final whistle

Can't believe the Argentinians will recover from that. If the Dutch revert to being cautious, they are idiots. Fighting again?!

Brilliant goal - took balls to try that.

Think another scrap will happen during this extra time, or at the full time whistle. Take your pick.

Going to get feisty now.

Some terrific full blooded tackles being pulled up as fouls - it really is an art that is being refereed out of the game.

I thought the Dutch would beat Messi, despite Messi. They haven't looked like they have a plan. Very disappointing.

Agree100% with the first 2 paragraphs; the good pass, I thought, was brilliant.

Fair enough - the commentators do go over the top about everything he does (whether it is deserved or not - but usually it is!)

I'm a Messi fan, admittedly. but if you can't see what a brilliant no look pass that was, then he'll never convince you, whatever he does.

Haha - gerrin ! Wouldn't write off Portugal.

if Brazil get knocked out, I'm going to love watching Neymar's face !

How did Neymar not get booked for that ?!

Brazil look average. Looks like one or two of them are not 100& (Neymar included) and the manager is not brave enough to take them off.

Could make a song out of that 'We've got a big weed, on the grow' Block 15 all stoned, don't you know etc etc

I had a similar concern, but on the Reading forum, I don't think anybody picked him as a predicted starter, which would cheer me up. On top of their injuries, that Ejaria (who is a tricky player) has been dropped because of disciplinary issues.

Joao is a quality player, but I'm just as bothered about Andy Carroll, which is why I want as few set pieces as possible conceded, and play a high line.

Reading in a worse / as bad a state as us re: injuries? https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/23179349.reading-fc-team-news-ahead-coventry-injuries-rack/

Been watching a few minutes of Gillingham v Dagenham. Reminded me, if I needed it, that an extra layer or two needs to be worn on Saturday ! BBrrrrrrrrrrrr
