Chile could well do Spain. Tempted. Well you're well up after taking my advice on Serbia beating Germany. I got another 6/1 today very small stake but I backed Slovakia. I swear to god Parky was the one who came up with the Serbia tip and you said it'd be a draw. (EDIT: Craig mode disengaged)

Hail To The Thief. Comfortably Radiohead's best imho.

Only because they started it. LIEK THE WAR AN THAT.

I'd call it a score draw.

I know it's wrong to laugh... I know it is... but....

It does for me. Have you paid your licence fee?

Thing is, I'm worried they might think he is. It's not as if there's a shortage of more erudite and insightful people who tick that box, after all.

This. Major credit to Slovakia for that alone, never mind the result.

This thread is like the fucking hokey cokey.

I can't wait for Stevie.

No, no, it does. Any distraction from the football is welcome right now, don't want to jinx it by actually starting to hope.

OK, it's the Guardian blog, but still.

And that was five hours before they gave up for the night...

Surprised at how happy I am for Team YouEssAy actually. That's a very tasty part of the draw, too - one of Uruguay, South Korea, Ghana and Merka is going to be a semi-finalist.

Yeah, if a tie-break is good enough for every other set, it should be good enough for the final one really. Mind, still a great bit of publicity for the game.

Happy to place a large bet on Germany to get through to the next round (specifically not only to win in 90 minutes) - there's no money I'd be happier to lose.

Famous last words, but I wouldn't be particularly scared of any of the teams in the Germans' group, to be honest. Even with us not in top form.

Meanwhile, a match at Wimbledon is at 25-24 in the final set.

Might get sent off from the bench yet

He fell into the man.
