The NSW government has bowed to pressure from the riotous soccer thugs and is setting up a public viewing site in Darling Harbour where previously they had to go to pubs or clubs to view it.
Soccer is like smoking, young people just should not be exposed to the play acting and health risks that accompanies it. It’s so wrong. Thank god it takes place it the small hours of the morning when children are safely tucked up in bed.
Quarter final time already and England still there, what do you think
Croatia v Brazil
Netherlands v Argentina
Morocco v Portugal
England v France
I think Portugal have a fantastic chance if Ronaldo is left on the bench as Ramos changed Portugal style
for me
Brazil
Netherlands
Morocco
France
I am looking forward to it

For me Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, France.
Absolutely delighted to see Morocco beat Portugal and i did say there would be a few surprises 
Brazil heading home and for me to many heroes and they were beaten by Modric at 37 years old, the best in the tournament
So I hope its a final between Croatia and Morocco
Plenty still to go and football wise its been excellent for me
Clearly Kane wasn’t very able last night. 
Perhaps Kane should try out for the Rugby team as well. 
It’s appears to be a tournament for the underdogs with Croatia and Morocco scrapping through.
I have to say, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the World Cup thus far.

Yes the best team won last night. If I was betting it would be on France or Argentina,

At least we escaped the hours of fireworks last night that we would have had if they’d won.

I expect people living near pubs will be very relieved too.

There were fireworks in Scotland because England lost 
any excuse. But in Paris, everyone was tooting their car horns because Morocco won their bit…I’m confused

As always I’m annoyed by UK football coverage. The half time commentators in the France : Morocco game decide to use the time to discuss the England team performance. Chaps, they are out, move on and discuss the game at hand. All so depressingly expected. I’m now sure that the match commentators will mention 1966 any minute now. Never in the history of human football has such long ago events been mentioned so often for such little reason.

That’s a surprise I would have put Gerd top.
Me to. Despite the game, I still believe England have some of the best strikers in the world …
