What __ that dreary 0-0 draw you mean? Both sides spent most of the match watching the clock tick down knowing that they would qualify anyway. It was a real disappointment to the neutral.

Boring, boring match.  Ivory Coast vs North Korea was probably more exciting.

All South American teams are in the next round - that's great.

Sorry to see the Italians leave.  Now I have to find another cute team to cheer for.

Don't forget Uruguay. 

I said "good match" because i don´t see the game by gools.
Yes they play in the defense.
Yes no one scores.
But this is all strategy, like a chess game. Don´t forget that for us is a game but for the people involved is a lot more. Portugal annulled the offensive that Brazil stands for, and Brazil have there mind already in the nex match.
Put your self in the shoes of Carlos Queiros and Dunga!
In the end they both go into the next phase.

I'm glad Uruguay moved on.  In the USA x Ghana, I was torn between having another American moving on and the only African team remaining. 

PS: Great to see 7 out of the 8 American (5 out of the 5 South American) teams in the Round of 16. We may have 4 in the quarter finals, and even 4 in the semi-finals!

Come on England..........

54 years of hurt and counting......

Let Rooney find his shooting boots and sweep aside the Teutonic onslaught!.

Wow has it been 54 years already... you'd never know it the way some people talk about 1966.

I think its time Uruguay won again!

Er....did I say 54 years, I am sure I said 44 years...

Well 48 years next time round...

Let's go Canada! ...Oh yea, we are not there, we got beat by the 14-15 years old brazilian team. Skating with spikes on the grass make it harder for us, not our fault.

I watch Argentina vs Mexico. It's 3 to 1 for Argentina, which is awesome I think. I have seen 2 on 4 goals in a 24 hour match, lucky me.

Next time maybe Argentina vs Germany and then I won't have a favorite team. If anyone can influence me to fav one team over the other please

Even if Argentina's first goal was illegal, I believe they would win in the end. But the Germany vs England might have taken a different turn, had England's second goal not been cancelled incorrectly. A draw on the first half would have certainly given them more energy for the second half. Not that the Germans did not merit - they have a very good team. Germany vs Argentina will be a great match, for sure.

Argentina, Brazil, maybe Germany.

Somethings remain inevitable - normally disappointment. The disallowed English goal would have changed things, however we lost through shoddy schoolboy defending and lack of firepower up front.

A couple of players can hold their heads high, but not many... Argentina would have destroyed us as well. I'll tip Germany to beat them and Maradona to beat up the referee.

No more excuses for afternoon's off work now we are out.

See you in four years

Ok, Brazil vs Chile begins now.  Will we meet Netherlands next? 

I'm happy The Dutch made it to the next round

I think so, we just have to wait the next 105 minutes

Oh, yes, we're still in the game!    I was a bit uncertain at start, as Chile was attacking strongly. A good result in the end, without any help from the referee. 

@Luis Santos,
good luck today Luis
It's not going to be easy, you're meeting your big neighbour and they're very good.
Do your best Portugal, you're the underdogs

Underdogs?? come on!! 3rd place on ranks.. not that underdogs..

thanks!

Another way to see the "goal" in the Germany/England match I think

@Luis,
Sorry, I really don't know anything football
I want Portugal to win!
I said 'underdogs' only because Portugal is a smaller nation and I think I've heard the Irish on TV say Spain is more likely to win. But you know what, they didn't really know and they weren't very sure.
Anyhow, just so you know, the only match in the World Cup I've seen so far is your match. I watched every minute of the first part, and that's rare for someone like me
Second part is playing now, I'm half watching and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I want Portugal to win because :
1. The coach is handsome
2. Some Spanish footballers desperately need a hair cut. Too many curls gently flying around
I'm just joking, good luck Portugal, 40 more min to go!

Ok Luis it's finished.
This is what the Irish are saying right now on TV:
1 - The goalkeeper was great and kept Portugal in the match
2 - Players lacked ambition
3 - Ronaldo only played for himself and not for the team

I'm sorry for Portugal and I'm sure you lost the match because of me. Every single time I want a team to win, it never does.
It's like a curse ...
Chin up, you'll feel a bit better tomorrow
