    Breaking news: Joris Mathijsen has picked up an injury in the warm-up, so Andre Ooijer takes his place in the Netherlands line-up.

    Elano could miss the rest of the world cup also. But the above could be a god send for me should they lose :)

    God does appear to have had a very big hand in the development of South American football.

    Wrong! 'robbed of a goal' because they missed a penalty in the last minute, and another two for that matter icon7.gif The handball on the line was instinctive and would have been replicated by any player in the world and was duly punished by the award of a penalty (well spotted ref).

    No. Even Suarez admitted he couldn't head the ball so he made the decision to use his hand to stop the ball. If he had any honor then he would have jumped, he would have missed and the better team would have gone through.

    Fine, Ghana shouldn't have missed all their penalties but there was no way Gyan would have scored. The weight of the entire African continent was on that foot. No one should have that pressure on them.

    With all of Fifa's loud talking of fair play football, what will they have to say about that?
