Godin reminds me a bit of Vidic. Good player, but ultimately because he subtly breaks the laws of the game.

Don't think Vidic is as bad as that or am I blinkered?

Or perhaps it shows how good (subtle) Vidic is at it? ;)

All that practise for the penalty shoots outs has gone to waste.

It doesn't feel as bad to go out in the group stages at least.

The England fans in Rio being interviewed on Sky are all mentioning Suarez being offside, they obviously don't realise it was Gerrard that got the assist.

Also the SkySports panel of "experts" includes Chris Powell and David Bentley, which made me laugh.

They know no one is watching so they hire anybody to fill the seats.

Has anyone ever gone through with 2 draws?
