The Germans will love playing France.

(Strictly speaking - Navas' save didn't by itself knock Greece out. The CR player who followed could have had his kick saved)

That's why I said "effectively"

You're not very good at this.

I bow before your vastly superior intelligence, knowledge, wisdom, footballing ability etc.etc.etc.

By far. Good thing I captained him on my fantasy team.

I can feel the money in my hands.

Odd.

Your entire argument was based on it not being "entirely clear" that he jumped early.

I then posted a link of the pen and it is indeed very clear. You couldn't open the link, fair enough; but don't carry on an argument if you can't acknowledge the other side of it.

Now you're talking about "footballing ability"?

Odd.

Actually my "entire" argument wasn't based on that - my main point was that it's usually pretty impossible for any normal human being to be absolutely certain on the issue without the benefit of a recorded replay. Which the refs don't have.

But perhaps it is odd to try to argue with you. I apologise for wasting your time.

Does any official have the balls to call 'keepers out for jumping off the line early?

Some save though

Not clear that he did jump off early.

I guess there's no point in the officials beside the goals then, they must be wasting their time too

After the last 16 looking a bit poor, the quarters are beginning to take shape.

Brazil
Colombia
Holland
France
Germany, Argentina and Belgium likely to follow.

and Costa Rica.
