Penalty hoodoo strikes again

Has to be a pen

Giroud always scores

Good old Arry

Hardly rocket science though, is it? People have been saying it for months.

That's a penalty

And there you have it..... what an awful day

It's been a rubbish sporting day so far, come on England

Tomasson has lost the plot as far as I'm concerned. He needs to have a rethink It has to be said Rovers don't have enough good quality players either Money needs to be spent in January or it will be a slide down the table for the rest of the season

Blow the whistle ref and end this agony. Great start to the sporting day.... just watch England lose too

Look like the victory over Ajax in Spain that everyone was drooling over was a bit misleading Eh what?

Preston have a simple method in the short time I've been watching...... play in your opponents half of the field instead of your own

I've only been watching this about 10 minutes and we're second to the ball all the time. We just don't look interested. This is as bad as anything under Mowbray

Just tuned in Let me guess... both goals conceded by messing around at the back?

That photo shows why no one should support the likes of Argentina. Van Gaal has questions to answer about that poor Dutch performance - why did they only start playing when they went 2-0 down and then retreat back into their shells in extra time? Hopefully Croatia will wipe the smiles off those scumbag Argentinian faces, Messi included

A display from the Netherlands there for about 20 minutes of how England might have played under Sam Allardyce Hands up who doesn't prefer it to boring pass-pass keep-ball?

This brilliant World Cup continues to give Come on the Nedders

Come on the Oranjes. Neymar and Messi going home on the same day would be something to celebrate

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! Excellent

Brazil have won enough, and their supporters are too entitled It would be brilliant if they went out........ on penalties

Excellent. Come on you Croats!

Croatia keeper playing a blinder.

This is a European Brazil, a Champions League Brazil, because most of the players play their football there, still excellent quality but, aside from one or two flashes, lacking the individual brilliance of the past. The 1970 Brazil was the best international team in my lifeftime

Swiss were very poor but hats off to Portugal tonight - a brilliant performance with some excellent goals For pure football, Portugal v Brazil would be a fitting final and one that many non-England fans would like to see

Correct. The current crop of German players don't have anything like the quality of previous German sides. The fact the players play for top clubs is irrelevant. It's just a poor cohort compared to their great teams of the past The Germans won't be down for long. They'll analyse where they've been going wrong, make a long term plan and return to the top.
