Honduras started positively but i think the French are stronger in the midfield and so controlling the game. The red card was coming and maybe another with all the yellows. Don't know if i will make to watch the rest of it....zzzzzzzzzz

Plainly stupid from Palacios. Importing Stoke's physicallity to the WC.

It's quite clear. It showed the trajectory after it hit the up left then landed on the line hence no goal, then hit the goallie and crossed the line, Hence goal. Very clear. Should be no controversy.

Commentators need to have confirmed the order of the SMSs they were describing. From ESPN "Benzema's header hit woodwork (not over the line) but then came down and hit the keeper (then over the line), according to the technology."

That technology has been tested robustly. The press seem to have skipped the training class.

I was wondering where the "confusion" he was talking about was. It was damn clear.

Argentina best when in free motion and Bosnia are chocking the midfield. Aguero not at his best. Bosnia despite a panicky start are holding well and may have a goal in them. A draw would be a good result for Nigeria.

Messi clicks. Wow!

It's death for those who'll stay up for the Spurs game!!

Hata mimi sioni. They need 2 wins to progress and hope the maths work for them. Problem of losing the 1st match is you have to rely on mathematics.

Anyway I hear the new name for a 'high 5' is 'Spain'. So you say "give me spain"

Spain lost the opening fixture against Switzerland in the 2010 WC but still managed to top their group (which also had Chile) and later on win the WC. IMO i think the second round of fixtures will give us a clear picture of who will proceed/exit from the group stages!
