That was pathetic, 90 minutes of nothing and then 3 minutes of football.
Yeah pretty stupid when you're 4mins into 3mins added time.

Every game so far, the teams are playing to not lose as opposed to playing to win. Maybe Fifa should make it 5pts for a win, 2pts for a loss and 1pt for a draw !!
Just about, yeah.

I'll say this. With all these low scoring games and draws with top teams, it surely must give some confidence back to england. In other words, england really didn't do as bad as people thought, but more on a par with everyone else. Only germany have so far shown anything special. I won't be surprise if Brazil play averagely tonight either.

Teams are playing for points. Cut out the dross, get rid of 16 teams have a 16 team competition and it will get the teams playing.

All these games making the England game look good

The bookies must be loving it. Not only is this getting really hard to predict, but bets on group winners, and multiples are all being lost no doubt.
Teams know that if they lose their first game then their chance of progressing to the last sixteen is very slim. Whereas if they at least get a draw they're guaranteed to still have a chance going into their final group game. I guess that's why we're seeing such cagey opening games.

Poor Spawn.
LOL yup thats my accumilator finished...FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU Portugal you bunch of inept ****ing dogs
And breath
Thats me done with this WC betting...complete and utter crap so far the results.
So far Germany have impressed me the most then the Dutch...all the other games have been absolute cack...dont know if its the ball or the pitches or the altitude there thats making most of these games crap.
Praying that Brazil and Spain play some great football tonight and tommorrow.

Do all the penalty shootout games come with draws from the third round onwards? If england draw with slovenia, that'll be a shootout, yes?
