So far we've seen one team from each group get through to the quarter finals. In fact, all the group winners to have played so far have got through. Normally you get at least 2 teams from the same first round group both lose in the first knockout round.

So Robben admitted to diving, eh? Had a journo here questioning FIFA's consistency, saying Suarez received a longer suspension for being a repeat offender, so why can't they do the same with Robben? Even banning him for a game (which they still have the power to do, despite the Eduardo backflip nonsense, yes?) would send a message that this shit has to stop, as it is a far bigger blight on the game and far more widespread than Luis' mouth.

Nigeria haven't done to badly in this game so far. If anything, I'd say they're edging it so far. That said, their striker Emenike is one of those physically imposing types that doesn't use his brain very often - the sort that would hoof a shot from 40 yards well high and wide when he's got 2 or 3 teammates in much better positions.
