Wonder how much the ref got paid to ensure Brazil won? Football more corrupt than SPECTRE.

Couldn't agree more. If you want to know what match-fixing looks like - it looks like that.
How can a goal be disallowed for off-side from a corner?
And why is Gary Barlow doing ITV commentary?
Notice the damage to the glass in the TV studio there.

Probably did it themselves to show empathy with fellow journalists who are reporting from Iraq.
Classic RVP goal there - one touch finish from a long cross. Great half.
Beautiful stuff and an interesting tactical battle. I am enjoying this game.
Now it's Robben with a cracker!
Game over now for the Spanish, but certainly not tournament over.
Additionally, the Spanish subs bench is amazing. Probably better than most of England's first XI.
It will be tournament over if they do not improve.
I was about to put a bet on them for the tournament
Still the odds will have improved

They haven't played terrible tonight, so I think it's a bit early to write them off.
Oh wait, it's 4-1 now. Jesus!
Looking like a bit of a spanking at the moment.

Defensively, they have played my definition of terrible by WC winner standards. They need to improve massively in that area. Not saying they can't, just that they need to.
A Brazil v Spain second round? Woah....
Casillas is having a shocker. Great work by Robben again.
I'm starting to doubt if the Spanish can pick themselves up after this. They've been run ragged in this half. Surely Chile and Australia can't get points off them though?
This is astonishing.
Much better than the 2010 final. Very entertaining.
Classic Torres sloppiness there.
The Dutch look like they could score at will.
What is with the slow mo celebration replays? I want to see football!
