Only?

never been ronaldos biggest fan cos i always thought he was an arrogant wanker,but that free kick last night was sublime

France beat Australia 2-1 on a day that Australia will want to forget.

They've also lost at Rugby Union and cricket.

^which was taken the worst i imagine?

Brazil V Switzerland should be a good game Switzerland will only get something out of it if they nullify Neymar early

Croatia probably feel they should have hammered Nigeria more

in the realms of possibilities could England meet Iceland again if Iceland got through?

^ The draw keeps everyone in groups A to D and E to H separate until the Semi's mate. But yeah it's possible then (or in the Final obviously).

EDIT TO ADD: With Croatia taking charge of Group D perhaps the most likely scenario is for Croatia to maintain this and then England would need to top their group to head towards a Semi-Final confrontation with Iceland emerging as runners up to Croatia. If Iceland take first place in D, England would have to progress as runner's up in Group H to be on course for the same clash.

I hope everyone hasn't nodded off yet...

An unlucky day for Peru yesterday. I thought their 1-0 defeat to Denmark was very harsh on them. Now they have to play France in their next match and defeat there could mean they are eliminated before they even get to play their final match against Australia. That would be a shame when this is their first World Cup for 36 years.

Also yesterday I don't think the 1-1 draw between Argentina and Iceland was as big a surprise as many people have said, as Argentina haven't impressed recently and their only plan is to pass the ball to Messi. Croatia against Argentina now looks like a key match for both sides, especially if Iceland can bag 3 points against Nigeria.

France were very poor yesterday were lucky to get past the Aussies

Do hope iceland get past the group

The Peru superfan who whips her top off every time they score a goal


But we're still waiting

Clive Tyldesley mentioning Stalin in the opening match has to be the oddest commentary moment so far.
