Tonights result for England and Belgium just shows us that Belgiums reserves are better than England reserves. :)

It also means Belgium plays Japan next while England are facing a tougher task against Colombia. Some mouth watering match ups in the rd of 16.

The yellow card rule sucks btw

I think it's actually a pretty good one...better than just a lottery anyways!



Yeah today's matches went pretty much as I expected...betted result on the England Belgium game and won which was nice...also had 0-0 which then would have given me a double win as Tunisia won too but alas that was not to be...

Well yellow cards can be a bit of a lottery, particularly with the amount of blatant diving/cheating that goes on. Refs can dish em out when they're not warranted don't give them when one was warranted.

Yeah, it's "in case of a tie, we'll let the refs choose who advances."

Get both teams together in the city where their rd of 16 match it to be played and have a penalty shoot-out. Would be great anticipation and great TV.

I do agree that naturally the refs have bit different criteria for giving out yellow cards so that is an issue...but it has to be decided somehow based on the merits of the matches played...them the rules.

While Penalty shoot-out might be entertaining for the audience it wouldn't be fair to the teams...they've already played against eachother. Also I am not a big fan of penalty kicks because luck is such a huge factor in them. Sure there's a skill element and most importantly a nerve element but in the end luck plays a big part too.

I'd much rather see matches solved on the field not on the dot.
