    Only hardcore supporters of certain football teams find other matches boring..
    Take it for what it is, the world cup! Who cares whos playing/how their playing ITS STILL FOOTBALL.

    I disagree. Yeah I have my club team I support but I enjoy watching football from around the world (club & international) and I have seen my team play boring/poor football and not afraid to admit it. At the same time I have watched games involving teams I dislike or have no interest in and played a great match. You get good games, you get poor games. This game is clearly in the latter and no biases come into it.

    It reminds me of watching arsenal or everton a couple of seasons back, they play like greece.
    I much prefer the end to end matches with tons of goals.
    And whoeever wins tonight is going to have to change their play against holland.

    On a lighter note i beleive tomorrows Germany V Algeria match will be end to end and ground to ground non stop (heres hoping anyway)

    Well the second half did liven up didn't it.

    How many late, late goals in this World Cup?

    Even crap games like this have their entertainment.

    Anyone remember South Africa? My god that was a painful months viewing.

    And those damn wasps at every stadium. Buuuuuuuzzzzzzzzzzzzz Buuuuuuzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Its seems the later the match the more excitement,
    I might just start watching the matches from 70+ mins onwards.

    Greece 'SHOULD' take it now, but its mega new territory for them,
    but if they dont then they will only have theirselves to blame.

    Im glad the vuvuzelas arent in this world cup, and glad it WONT be a Spain V Holland final <- that was more a scrap!
    (like germanys will be tomorrow i think)

    props to costa ricas goalie for that save (hope hes not to hurt)
