Hell yeah Netherlands! That's 3 for 3.

Suarez bites again! Full ban from the rest of the tourney? Will FIFA even act on it?

I suspect they'll give him a suspended ban and a large fine because otherwise Uruguay lose their star player. However, because he's done it before I wouldnt be surprised if they ban him straight away.

On the minus side, Luis Suarez just generally seems to be an awful person all round both for racism and persistent cheating.

On the plus side, I got two teams out of the group stage! 

Just need Ecuador to beat France now... not really seeing that happening, but I can hope.

Oh my god!!! The Greek team must have been on drugs! That was one of the greatest games I have ever seen!!!

[Jubal]

Yay, Greece! 

[Pentagathus]

Yay, drugs!

[Tom]

Yay pugs

[Mars]

I somehow manage to get a country get through!

Thank you Jubal for being more on the ball with the original post, updating who's out and the 'last 16' matches

[Tom]

Suarez banned for 4 months :O

[Jubal]

Well, armadillo, I'm probably screwed against Colombia then.

We all have at least 1 team into the R16!

Brazil apparently weren't that impressive, I think going forward SotK maybe has the best hand with France/Chile, or TTG4 with Argentina/USA. I can see both my teams being dumped out in the next round, though I'm holding out for Costa Rica to unexpectedly shock everyone and win the tournament

(Seriously though, they should beat Greece I think, then one more shock win against (probably) the Dutch would take them to the semis...)

[comrade_general]

Dutch all the way.

[Gen_Glory]

If the ref hadn't been so terrible in the first game I doubt Brazil would of gotten out of the group stages, or at least not top of their group

Lizard, you are the first world cup casualty!!! The pain you must have felt watching the match today. I am here for you...
