It’d be better, and more exciting, if the round of 16 onwards was decided by a random draw.
Can’t remember - has it always been preordained?

Wouldn't work cause you'd end up with a team getting a days break against a team getting 4 or 5. Unless you made the tournament longer with bigger gaps between games.

What the fuck is Ronaldo doing with his shorts. He's no Steve white, is he?

Good point. Never thought of that.

You get that feeling that he's still going to pop up.

The amount of attacks where nobody is just outside the box when the ball pings back.

Enjoyed the referee clearly deciding before the game that the best way to deal with both teams being shitehawks of the highest order was to give nothing whatsoever for the entire 90 minutes and then giving Ronaldo a yellow for not all that much comparatively (especially considering Quaresma very nearly lamped him in the same incident). Quality stuff.
To be honest, I've seen two teams today that I think would tie England in a bag and drown them. Good thing that we're on the other side of the draw...

...and continued that attitude, screaming at the ref at the end. Not very Captain material. Good, that's Messi FC & Ronaldo FC out of the tournament. Just need the Neymar wankathon to end and I'll be happy these so called World class players are no longer in the World Cup. Individuals may score great goals but a whole team wins a World Cup. So far the most organised sides have been Croatia, Uruguay (to a degree), Belgium and dare I say it, England. Anyway, I was having my own wankfest in how good a CB Godin still is. Easily the best centre back in the World currently, especially when we cut all the bullshit out that someone like Ramos has in his game. Godin vastly underrated /even unknown by many. Less interesting that they're both the same age as myself.
