This is the greatest football tournament of all time.

So...

Belgium saved their usual ten minutes of perfection for Extra Time on this occasion.

Lukaku is currently in Beast Mode.

Chris Weidman vs. Lyoto Machida Ronda Rousey vs. Alexis Davis Stefan Struve vs. Matt Mitrione Uriah Hall vs. Thiago Santos Urijah Faber vs. Alex Caceres - This is based on both belief, and my strong dislike of Bruce Leroy. Bonus Questions 1) (T)KO / Submission / Decision 2) Yes / No 3) 1st Round / 2nd Round / 3rd Round / All Stuffed 4) Stefan Struve / Matt Mitrione

That might be the best team goal of the tournament so far. All the respect in the world to Algeria.

A second goal right out of any FIFA game.

Townsend is talking a lot of cramp, which is an 'm' more than usual.

Aww, poor Algeria. That's either an accident or a superb piece of skill. Andy Townsend says it was deliberate, so it was an accident.

Well this World Cup continues to be predictable.

Four games, four group winners advance. THE SYSTEM WORKS.

ITV's dedication to a minute-by-minute coverage of Joel Campbell, the only Premiership player in the match (well Ruiz is out on loan), has yet to cease.

GET IN THERE! VIVA COSTA RICA~! I guess they were holding Samaras back until the 5th kick, which, as usual, is a stupid tactic.

These penalties are 100 times better than any Brazilian or Chilean managed. WHAT A SAVE THAT IS. COME ON 5TH COSTA RICAN PENALTY TAKER! Yeah we should probably ignore that he was almost on the six yard line, but that makes the save even better.

I love penalty shoot-outs where I don't mind who wins. This is not one of those occasions. 1-0! COME ON YOU RICANS~!

These Carling adverts make no sense. Every game has started outside of the standard 9-5 working hours, so why would an office worker be trying to watch a match on the sly? Also in the Santander adverts the female player just flicks the ball up and watches the two guys pull off a load of tricks. Seems about right. I'm really over-analysing these things.

This has been a pretty great last fifteen minutes. It's the equivalent of two completely exhausted MMA fighters just swinging for the fences with no technique or strategy.

How do you let your opponents get 5 on 2? And how do you NOT SCORE?!

Imagine being half-Italian and half-English, seeing your countries knocked out by Costa Rica, then watching them get done over by Greece. .

Karagounis with the high knee, shades of the legendary Harley Race with that one.

I can see Greece winning this in ET. And almost just did in normal time.

Dammit.

Huntelaar really de Jong'd that corner flag.

Retired from 5th place this time but was a net third due to pit stops . Time for the 1993 Jordan, this week's helmet is Thierry Boutsen's.

It's just a decoration, and to be honest it's so big that it's a bit of a burden to find somewhere to put it.
