Japan vs Spain & Costa Rica vs Germany - 7pm GMT

[Astafjevs]

Think Spain are in a slightly easier half. Portugal QF is easier than Brazil. 

Only have to play one of England/France for a potential SF

Have to say, fair play to all those not watching on principles, but **** me, you are missing out

A great WC on the pitch and an awful one off the pitch.

Huh? Their tempo from word go was high. Should’ve been 3-0 up after 10 minutes. 2nd half started off poorly, assume with mindset of we’re not getting 7 goals now. 

Should be been 4 up. Musiala had 8 shots, could've had 6 on the night, should've had at least 3

If you put a camera over the top of the ball there, that would be touching some of the line

[Reggiana]

Simon is quite lucky the second goal is so controversial, it's taking attention away from him being terrible on the equaliser.

[GunmaN1905]

I think it's officially time to put Lineker's saying about Germans into the bin.

[Coulthard's Jaw]

Don't overthink whether a path is easy or not, anything can happen in knockout football.

[bolton1987]

That bottom half featuring England/France/Spain/Portugal is fun.

[SouthCoastRed]

Peter Walton, as insightful as ever. Cockpiece

[aiston]

Has Souness got a bet on Germany to win the WC?

 

The way he and ITV are going on about the Japanese goal

 

[EnterUsernameHere]

ITV have absolutely lost their heads.

[Pukey]

Souness basically saying there's a conspiracy ffs  

[thefmveteran86]

Karma is a ***** eh Germany?

As we've just seen.

[Rob1981]

Pougatch  

Introduces Peter Walton then talks non-stop so he has nothing left to say.

Conspiracy theory - FIFA allowed the Japan goal to stand to get back at Germany for the protest in the first game

I don’t believe they had heads to lose.

Absolute car crash of a tv channel

[Andrew_]

Is it England or Germany that are out?

I think if you avoiding France and Brazil in a quarter then you fancy your chance of a semi

[Darren Moores Mum]

Souness talking about conspiracies coming out...conspiracies that he himself is peddling FFS

 

[Pukey]

"We had a great angle from our studio and thought it was out" omfg  This is remarkably awful even by ITV's standards

He's bloody awful. 

 

[CFuller]

Graeme Souness dangerously close to turning into Matt Le Tissier right now...

[aiston]

I swear two of those angles made the ball look clearly still in

It’s okay, Aluko said she could see it clearly from 100 yards away.

Müller saying thank you and goodbye to the German fans :*( Looks like this was his last game in the Mannschaft

A good tactic for any opposing team is to just shoot on sight at him

[Rob1981]

Christ almighty ITV, this is a car crash

Just go back to the best England goals 

[craigcwwe]

Unai Simon plays like he's been told he's fantastic with the ball at his feet and it's got to his head so he plays it dangerously close to the line.

Mate and I in a group chat were joking about it and as I was typing it here ITV were losing their heads and saying it for real  

[Vynal Seven]

You’d think Neville of all people would remember some of the clangers De Gea has let in over the last few years but he “can’t image De Gea would let that in”?

[m_fenton]

It's obviously close, but literally every angle I've seen looks at least "probably in" at worst.

[Smallen]

Souness is off his rocker.

Gary needs to be careful, he's back in the other studio in a day or two. 

I suspect he's getting a telling off. 

[RTHerringbone]

What a brilliant day yet again 

[Astafjevs]

Never thought I'd say this, but can we have an update from the England camp, please?

Yeah, even the main feed looked in to me, kind of bemused by all the hysteria.

While there are no 4 team dramas tomorrow, we have two grudge matches.

Serbia-Switzerland (or the Albanian part of it ) and obviously Uruguay-Ghana.

While I don't think we'll see such spectacular football and scorelines, I predict a lot of sh*thousing and cards.

[Pukey]

They've repeated the rule about as long there's curve of the ball on the line then it's in, showed at least a couple of angles where it looks fairly clear there's something, only to then have Souness basically accuse Fifa of wanting Germany out  amazing TV.

[Anthrax Dave]

Souness about to have a coronary if he ain't careful.

Ball was clearly still in, from the picture above.

 

Massive congrats to Japan. Such a fun team to watch.

[Coulthard's Jaw]

Neville trying to talk about Japan and Pougatch just went off on one.

100%.  Sounness saying people looking at that still ITV showed that was above and in front of the line, and saying everyone would be saying that looks out   not to me, I think it looks in when you factor in the angle and ball curvature.

I think what we're really seeing are broadcasters annoyed they haven't got the pictures they want to show, and wrongly thinking everyone at home is waiting on tenterhooks to see them.

I've been looking forward to Uruguay vs Ghana since the start of the tournament, been hoping there was something riding on that game for both sides all along.

Apparently today, during the press conference, aGhanian reporter told Suarez that he's the devil in their country.
