Hey look, Algeria have scored again.

Hey look, Algeria have scored.

I finished X the other day with a team of Greninja, Charizard, Raichu, Salamence, Lucario and Tyrantrum. The highest levelled was Tyrantrum but it never actually battled, it was a Japanese trade that I liked the look of and it just kept gaining levels with the EXP Share. The Lucario is one I trained up from a Riolu before I knew you got given one. Starting work on training up all the Pokémon I've traded over from Black and White 2, plus anything else I can get on the GTS.

I'm more than a little annoyed that the "prime time" game in the UK is South Korea v Algeria whilst I have to stay up for USA v Portugal. It's almost like they didn't take my schedule into consideration when arranging the kick off times.

I literally have no idea how that happened. Maybe the crappy 1993 Lotus design I spent this morning making (and it looks terrible) is my lucky charm. Still, yay!

Shouldn't be, it's on Amazon for a fairly decent price.

Bosnia's tactic of "pass everything to Dzeko and wait for him to do something" seems to have been picked up on by the Nigerians. And yeah the replays showed there was far less contact than I thought there had been.

Well apparently you can just throw defenders out of the way now.

I played it for a while when it first came out on PS3. I find the career mode a little frustrating, I'm a good bowler (have taken many five wicket hauls) but I'm pants at batting. I progressively got better, eventually making my first half century (which I celebrated like I scored a century on Test debut at Lords) but soon went back to my usual 10-20 scores before getting out. Anyway, the frustration comes from the set difficulty level. It automatically raises once you reach a certain stage (not that I've ever reached another stage past Somerset) and as I struggle with my current level I know I'm going to fail miserably in the future. So I stopped playing. The game itself is pretty good, the way they get around the licences (fake players to start but an immediate link to a custom-created DLC centre where you can download every real player you can think of) is brilliant.

We have blood.

... That was the perfect offside trap.

That is simply the worst somersault ever.

SOMEONE TURN THE TAP OFF, THE GOALS KEEP LEAKING. Actually, don't.

Somewhere in an office full of memorabilia or "presents" Sepp Blatter is doing a happy jig.

It's a shame it's Gyan because he's a twat, but I think I echo everyone by saying "WTF WORLD CUP".

My word.

Well this is an entertaining start to the second half. That was pretty much heading perfection.

Classy finish from Gotze. Use everything at your disposal.

Just watching the highlights now, were Argentina as lucky as it seems they were? Germany have ruined every commentator in the world's script by taking one of the Boateng brothers off.

Unlucky Karim.

Sorry England. If it's any consolation I feel slightly sick with what I've just seen as well.

This is pathetic now. I can't remember the last time we had a decent chance. Admittedly Costa Rica have shut up shop but I still think they'll score next.

Pirlo hits a ball in ways that are humanly impossible.

I don't think Cassano is the answer, but at least its another attacking option.
