I don't mind it, because it's a) better than a coin flip and b) maybe it will reduce the number of late game time wasting antics.

And they're through on fair play. This is so dumb.

I'm really torn about England's game today. I'd like them to win in style and go into the knockout on a high note. But the Group G winner side of the bracket is full of powerhouses. And the Group G winner plays Monday - I'll be celebrating Canada day at a cottage and not sure if they have cable / internet....

It's really getting overblown. We're really talking about one game, in the Round of 16, being a little tougher because you'll have to probably face Brazil rather than Sweden (who won the group with the defending champion) or Switzerland (who tied Brazil).

People assumed two years ago England would have no problem taking care of Iceland. How did that go?

Well, they're both gonna try anyway.

I'm guessing today's game might look like this:

Do you fell bad for the fans who ponied up big money for a ticket to this England - Belgium game which is essentially a friendly?

It also sounds like James Rodriguez is totally crocked after going off today so extra incentive for losing this one.
