If Fellaini had scored goals like that for Man Utd, Moyes might have still been in charge.

Fellaini was brilliant. Putting a certain Man Utd teammate to shame.

I think so. I know he wasn't great the other night, but IF he plays well then he is still a very good player. Hodgson will possibly put him inside, with Sterling left?

Been hearing for the last 8 or 9 WC games.

Having seen all but two teams play you still have to believe this is Australia's tournament to lose. Never right off the South American teams though, and what about the chances of England and the good old USA? :dance

I was 20 mins away from a Belgian loss....still, I got 70 minutes of digs in..before Belgium scored I thought he would start crying.

Fellaini was brilliant, changed the game, and a world class header

Two great saves within the space of 5 minutes. Another good game warming up.

Hopefully we will see the dodgiest penalty of all time given for Mexico, a Mexican punch Neymar in the face and receive a yellow and a perfectly fine Brazilian goal ruled out.

Would go some way to righting the injustice of Thursday.

At least Brazil didn't score that clearly offside goal in the final minutes unless I was missing something out of my screen? :dunno

Just watched it again and clearly offside at the moment it hits the chest of the Brazilian player. In fact not even a difficult decision as the player that receives the ball to almost score is actually just about touching the Mexican player and is clearly goal-side of him. That really would have sucked to see Brazil get two go ahead goals in consecutive matches that were dodgy to put it nicely.
