Completely agree.

Sensational.

@gorillamopena: 3 times he's done this. 3 TIMES! You couldn't make this stuff up. Absolutely incredible. How many more second chances does this guy deserve? Incredibly talented but also a colossal idiot.

I was desperate for Rooney to score after the way the media were preparing him as a scapegoat. Really glad he's grabbed that goal.

Akinfeev = The Opposite of Ochoa.

As 0-0 s go, this has been a pretty entertaining one - though maybe a comparison with the Iran-Nigeria match makes anything look good. Fair play to Ochoa - a quality display.

@leebmx: I love how the presenter took a sharp inhale of breath and wagged his finger. They also made Dunphy do a grovelling apology while looking down the camera just before the second half kicked off. All very enjoyable!

Brazil continue to be disappointing - I wonder if it's the expectation? Neymar aside they certainly aren't playing like favourites.

A highlight from today's World Cup though: Irish national broadcaster having a bit of a brain melt. Notoriously outspoken Eamon Dunphy didn't realise he was live on air and casually swore on live TV twice. His reaction was hilarious. Equally enjoyable was World Cup runner-up Didi Hamman's sly hiding of his phone when he realised they weren't on an ad break anymore.

I think it's going be the first genuinely poor match too (unless something special happens in the final 15).

Pepe proving what everyone's known for a long time: he's a massive liability.
