At Last - Etta James

Staring at the Sun - Wooden Shjips

Always thought this would have fitted seamlessly onto Primal Scream's Screamadelica

Hope Burnley win and play Celtic next ?

Guru, Jazzmatazz - No Time to Play

Tyrone Davis - Turn Back the Hands of Time

Terry Callier - Trance on Sedgewick Street

For those of you not watching, bit of an epic men's semi final going on right now. 

Isner v. Anderson, 2 sets all, 14 games each in 5th set. It's gonna be dark before Rafa and Djokovich get on

I've been saying it for weeks, it's not hindsight. Our lads allowed themselves to be pushed around physically by Croatia tonight. It's all very being nice boys but there are times when you have to fight fire with fire. We've nobody who has a reputation for being a hard case out there. The Premier League is a league for wimps and divers I'm afraid.

Completely out of context to my original post, but hey ho

Sorry mate,  we were outmuscled lots of times in the second half and extra time. Our lads are used to Premier League  refereeing were it's getting to be almost a non contact sport. Every little touch is a free kick. In this comp referees have been letting lots go and to win the ball you've got to put a foot in.

I posted that early in the 1st half of extras,  hindsight’s a beautiful thing, hey

Hope for the future, I honestly didn't think i'd be saying that before the tournament started. 

On a side note, isn't it great to have a world cup not dominated by knuckle draggers?

Congrats to Russia on a great world cup, it;s been immense.

C'mon Croatia

We're all getting a bit England here and sitting deep

France will be tougher wonder how we will set up against them 

Feeling confident? Not like you

England unchanged tonight. can't believe I've beat Chaddy to it, or is it just rovers games where this counts 

Tennis is brilliant atm, Nadal v. del Potro shaping up to be a classic, shame I'm gonna miss the end

This competition is a total joke. There is going to be some sort of inquest 1 month after the comp finishes with drug testing of all participants. The Whistle blower from Russia (now in hiding) of the Olympic Athletes has stated the Russians will be full of banned substances as it is state sponsored. How on gods earth can they run so many more miles more than the opposition? FIFA should have banned them at same time as IOC and moved the tournament.

Actually agree with most of this. Russia have an awful history of state sponsored doping, a lot of it quite recent too. 

To the person who said how can you get 23 players to agree to it?

1, Maybe they're told it's just 'vitamins' and are genuinely unaware

2, If Putin says take this, who's going to say no?

As to the inquest i month after the event, I'm not even sure that would work either. Who does the testing? Would anyone trust FIFA? Not me, that's for sure.

For a team ranked 61st in the world that was quite an incredible tournement, by the end of this match the Croatians were dropping like proverbial flies, the Russians still looked full of running. On a side note though, it gives us a much better chance of beating Croatia, they looked totally spent after that

THE Lightning Seeds - Three Lions

Got to be, really

First half he did well, second half he was a liability. I don't take much notice of what Danny Murphy says, I go off what my eyes are telling me. He'd have been a penalty taker in the event of a shoot out so you'd keep him on normally.

Not sure if anyone takes any notice of what Danny Murphy says. He's stealing a living off the license payers as much as he was at Ewood.

Thankfully I watched the game with the sound down

Not me, if you look back nearly ever time he had the ball in the second half he lost it. Why do you think he got subbed ?

if you're defending a lead against Brazil and you're going to take one of your front 3 off, you're probably not going to take Hazard or De Bruyne off. 

Thought he was outstanding tonight

Any of the 'Lukaku - flat track bully' posse having a rethink? Thought he was magnificent tonight

what a save

Game on, honestly didn't see Brazil getting anything out of this till now. gonna be interesting to see what the Belgies are made of now
