Cracking game at the minute, Brazil 1-2 Paraguay, about 25 mins left. Brazil not looking particularly good, Neymar looking nothing like a £40m player...

That must be the worst Brazil team ever. The fact that Denilson fails to make that squad is proof enough of how fucking hopeless he is. :lol:

Was really impressed with the Paraguan left winger, gave the c*nt Alves a horrid time. Neymar looked quick and nimble feeted but didnt justify all the hype around him. Pato was woeful.

I'd give my left bollock to have Falcao at Arsenal. What a striker! :(

Colombia looking impressive btw, made it to the QF without conceding a single goal. Might be the dark horses this year.

First game in the QF's between Colombia and Peru just ended in a 2-0 win for Peru after Extra Time. If there was a game to prove the importance of a good goalkeeper this was it. The game was very tight but the Colombian keeper fucked up twice to gift Peru their 2 goals. While the Peru keeper was absolutely fantastic, making save after save. Falcao missed a pen in the second half as well.

1-1 now at HT. Higuain with the goal.

That Perez is one hell of an idiot. Keeps fouling despite being on a yellow, and that yellow should have been a red too for a two footed lunge. *word censored*. :?

11 vs 10 fancy Argentina to win this now.

Have to say that uruguay are def the better team although their keeper made a tremendous double save from tevez's free kick and higuain's follow up 8)

Anybody thinking that forlan is past it should look at this match - when they were a man down he never stopped running and was doing really well at holding the ball up to allow support to get up to him. Forlan would def be up near the very top of the list of strikers I would like to see signed this summer 8)

Uruguay just won on pens. Tevez got his pen saved.

I love Forlan, one of my favorite players in the world. And Suarez isnt far behind him, too bad he plays for a shit team.

one of the best saves i've ever seen. incredible reflex to save it with his foot and then great acceleration and courage to make the second save. what a fucking save that was.

btw, really hoping uruguay wins it. the have a decent team (specially the attack with forlán, suarez and cavani, all top top players) and a brilliant attitute, they are all big fighters who would give their life to win the match.

SO different to what we see at arsenal :(
