Did you see the Uruguayan defender crying openly a few minutes before the end, when there was almost no chance to catch up anymore? That was kinda touching.

For me, it's the kids of about 8 years that the cameras pick up and who've traveled perhaps 10,000 miles to support their team. When the loss is imminent, their grief is profound.

.In today’s modern Galaxy there is, of course, very little still held to be unspeakable. Many words and expressions which only a matter of decades ago were considered so distastefully explicit that were they merely to be breathed in public, the perpetrator would be shunned, barred from polite society, and, in extreme cases, shot through the lungs, are now thought to be very healthy and proper, and their use in everyday speech is seen as evidence of a well-adjusted, relaxed, and totally unf [bleep!] ked-up personality.
So, for instance, when in a recent national speech, the financial minister of the Royal World Estate of Qualvista actually dared to say that due to one thing and another, and the fact that no one had made any food for awhile and the king seemed to have died, and that most of the population had been on holiday now for over three years, the economy had now arrived at what he called, “One whole juju-flop situation,” everyone was so pleased he felt able to come out and say it, that they quite failed to notice that their five-thousand-year-old civilisation had just collapsed overnight. But though even words like “juju-flop,” “swut,” and “turlingdrome” are now perfectly acceptable in common usage, there is one word that is still beyond the pale.
The concept it embodies is so revolting that the publication or broadcast of the word is utterly forbidden in all parts of the galaxy except one - where they don’t know what it means. That word is “Belgium” and it is only ever used by loose-tongued people like Zaphod Beeblebrox in situations of dire provocation

For the first time in my life, Mexicans rooted massively against Brazil in a game not against Mexico.
The Neymar Factor.
I think it is an emotional response tied to ethnicity. And it probably wouldn't be the case had Neymar not made application to legally change his name to Lawrence Olivier.
Thank you. For those of you wondering what that song fragment you keep hearing is. Ponder no more.
Do you remember the 21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night
Remember how the stars stole the night away
Hey hey hey
Ba de ya, say do you remember
Ba de ya, dancing in September
Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day
Ba duda, ba duda, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda
My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love
Remember how we knew love was here to stay
Now December found the love that we shared in September
Only blue talk and love
Remember the true love we share today
Hey hey hey
Ba de ya, say do you remember
Ba de ya, dancing in September
Ba de…
Except we sing, On and on, say do you remember On and on, dancing in September.
How do we keep a tune? We have our own bloody band that's how.
The only thing normal about this is that England are facing another must win game. We usually do that in the group stage.
Btw, good clean game. Kudos to the Swedes for fair play and putting on a decent game that could have gone either way were it not for some incredible saves by Jason Pickford.
