SympathysSilhouette

France looked decent. Not sure how to rate this performance though, since Honduras did little going forward, even before the sending off. Also a bit baffling that this side managed to end in third place in Hex qualifying, before Mexico!

The Swiss were really lucky. For a team that looked so good on paper, they really disappointed. The tempo of the ball was too low throughout the game and only Rodriguez lived up to the hype somewhat. Shaqiri was probably the biggest disappointment.

Well a few things. He cannot just plug in Diego Costa and leave the rest of the set-up the same. Costa is used to playing in quite a different manner with Atletico. Either he has to have Spain play a more direct attacking game, or he would probably be better off just playing Fabregas as a false nine. I would choose to bring in Koke instead of Xavi and move Iniesta into the Xavi role. Juanfran also comes into the team, as does De Gea. And I would bring in a dribbling winger just to make sure that no opposing wingback has another such easy night on the defensive end as Blind did yesterday. In that regard, it's a shame that Jesus Navas is not in the squad.

No more Nishimura . FIFA has it official now,they decided and declared that there will be no Nishimura in this World Cup again.He won't judge a single match during this Cup. This ofcourse after his disastrous way of judging the opening match,after also reports and angry media expressing fear that bad referees mar ruin the competition,also after the Croatian coach threatening to leave the Compt because of the bad referee. How about also getting Croatia (at least) the point they deserved in that game?

That was shockingly easy. The only difference between the first and second half was that Holland took care of the first ball, which meant they got Robben the ball in some decent areas. Not sure how Del Bosque will fix this in a couple of days. He'd really need an entirely new backline and a goalkeeper. The fullbacks especially were shocking. Piqué too, really.

It's hard to keep enthusiastic about a tournament that will so obviously be bent until - at least - the latter rounds of the knock-out stage.

Honestly, my desire for the rest of this WC has already been dulled. If this is the kind of crap we can expect in terms of refereeing, why don't we just hand Brazil the trophy already? If that is a penalty than I want to see at least five of them given every single game.

Go Croatia!

Wow, her boyfriend got killed by the cops?

I love her! Her face is amazing and I just read that her body ideal/role model is Wonder Woman!

Puffy? Her face looks terrific!

I does depress me a bit that this industry apparently puts a huge amount of pressure on perfectly healthy - and gorgeous-looking - women like Alexandria to lose weight.

I love her feet.

Oh my! Red is really her color.

That Adi dude kinda looks like Bar's dad. Just a bit. Oedipus complex?

^ If only SI worked with models of her caliber and size Um, they do. Kate Upton is every bit as "plus" sized as she is... Wow, she's really hot! Her factial structure is near perfect.

Her waist looks really tiny there...

Her butt looks spectacular in jeans...
