Hi, I have some sympathy for some people who overstay. LOS is a beguiling land to us falang and some of us lose control. I suppose most of them jump rather than face the reality of trying to make a living in an unpleasant homeland.

Hi, The admission of this New Zealand international cricketer supports those who believe all pro sport is bent. Lance Arnstrong has got all the flak, but he is not alone. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/10942625/Lou-Vincent-I-was-threatened-with-a-cricket-bat-after-match-fixing-attempt-in-India-went-wrong.html Lou Vincent: I was threatened with a cricket bat after match-fixing attempt in India went wrong Disgraced cricketer says a renowned player who recruited him into match-fixing accused him of staging a double cross with rival bookies

Hi, It's useful to be warned of these places. Some people just leave their business slide.

Hi, Many new teams have established themselves in this tournament but Costa Rica are the tops. Argentina have di Maria out as well as Kun for the semi so that is going to make it difficult. I like to see those top players, like Neymar as well, its a shame they are missing the business end.

Hi, Columbia try to play football like Brazil did years ago. What a shame the ref allowed Brazil to break their rhytm by continous fouling. Sad day for Brazil, sad day for football.

Hi, Columbia have played good football so I hope they beat Brazil. When the French are united they are hard to beat. Ask the All Blacks ! I'm letting my heart rule my head today.

Hi, The evidence is mounting against Jose. Robben, De Bruyne and Lukaku to name but 3.

Hi, Another player who Chelsea got rid of. One could name a great team at the WC from players Jose didn't fancy.

Hi, USA played well in extra time but were lucky to get there. As you say Tim Howard was brilliant.

Hi, Belgium performed the best of the big teams. I though the game should have been well over at 90 mins. Still, USA showed great resolution in extra time and are now a credible force in the game. Argentina ??? Unless they improve and Kun comes back I've done my money. Belgium and Colombia look the top 2 teams at this stage.

Hi, Algeria could have buried Germany in the first half. Couldn't take their chances. IMO the overall standard is up but there is no outstanding team in this WC. Spain maybe spoiled us with their quality in recent years.

Hi, Well done Costa Rica, played nearly an hour with 10 men. Can USA follow them into the last 8 ?

Hi, Brazil v Chile was a great game, could have gone either way. All the money was for Columbia in the other game as no one fancied Uruguay without Suarez. Columbia have a fair chance to beat Brazil IMO.

Hi, As Sam said "Anyone who goes to a psychiatrist ought to have his head examined."

Hi, Italy and England were knocked out by Suarez. Brazil are afraid that Uruguay will win the cup in Brazil again. They all had an agenda against Uruguay and Suarez. England would have scored at least 3 goals in their last game if Suarez was on their team instead of Sturridge, who is not a bad player. God damn you, Tony Blair.

Hi, Well done to USA for getting into the next round. They are minnows in football despite being a world power. We need to send some good coaches to China and India now as they are still crap if the Asian Cup is any guide.

Hi, Well done to USA and Algeria. Tough groups and they did the business. Greece are the great over-achievers in World football as their players flop in the Prem but they have been European Champions, which teams like England, the great under-achievers haven't, and they are into the round of 16 again. Columbia are lving up to the hype this time around and Costa Rica sent 2 ex World Champs home.

Hi, I've seen several Arsenal players get their legs broken with nasty tackles. All you here from the managers and ex-players in the media is "he is not that kind of player" etc... Eduardo getting his leg broken cost us the League that year. I've been bitten by some naught ladies in my time and I know it's preferably to getting your leg broken.

MM. Suarez had better wear protective padding. Hi, You can be sure Suarez got a lot of hassle off the ball. Italy take no prisoners when it comes to defending. Suarez has come from the wrong side of the tracks to being flown around in a private jet. I like guys like him even if he has his foibles.

Hi, Tennis looks a tough sport to me, and you are on your own. From a personal point of view that would not bother me, boxing would be the sport that I'd worry about, as as well as being fit one has to put up with being assaulted on a regular basis. Jockeys are known for being tough guys as well.

Hi, Right on cue wac. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/10918321/Football-match-fixing-deal-casts-cloud-over-World-Cup.html Football match-fixing: Ghana deal casts cloud over World Cup finals in Brazil Exclusive: undercover investigation by The Telegraph and Channel Four’s Dispatches programme finds that the President of Ghana’s Football Association agreed for the team to play in international matches that others were prepared to rig

Hi, USA were unlucky to concede such a late goal. Still they are doing well in a difficult group. Algeria have a good win, the North African teams can play a bit.

Hi, Tim Cahill scored a good goal in one game and a great goal in the other.

Hi, Iran give the Argies a scare. Ghana remain in with a shout after an excellent result against Germany. Hope Ghana go through as they look the best of the African teams. Nigeria are outplayed by Bosnia, who have a good goal disallowed and Dzeko misses numerous chances, but still manage to win..

Hi, I have a friend from Ghana and he is shellshocked after their first defeat. Can't see them getting anything tonight either.
