Spain robbed by linesman All reports seem to be delighted for Korea but I'm absolutely fuming after seeing a perfectly legal goal disallowed. The decision was so bizarre I was thinking corruption must have something to do with it. Plus Spain were the better team. There should be an investigation.

Brazil v Turkey. Predictions anyone?

Wimbledon gets all geeked-out. They've got Live Scoreboard, Slamcam (webcams on main courts that you can manipulate), Netcam (live static images), SMS and WAP scores, Virtual tour (yawn), Downloads (yawn) and a live score toolbar.
Also, they've got the IBM Media Console (RealOne player reqd.) which provides live and archived video and radio streams of gameplay, commentaries and interviews. FREE.

That's nothing. The World Cup interactive thing has alternative commentaries and recent matches playing on a loop, as well as 'classic' matches. We need it. We don't have Tivos.

Germany v Korea is semifinal 1. Who cares? ;-)

I adore the World Cup but even I wasn't that bothered when I learnt I was down for shift at work on Sunday. I want Turkey to win because of this

That's nothing. The interactive TV thing with live streams from five courts is the best. God bless the BBC.

Turkey dominates I thought this was a well played game, but I dont think they have a chance against the Brazilians. It seemed to me that Senegal opened really strong but then were taken off their game somehow.

Senegal played badly I thought, but despite all the chances they had Turkey couldn't finish. Maybe they should start with Ilhan next time. Even so, I can't see them beating Brazil. Shame. There's no-one in the final four I can root for. Germany's Germany, Turkey aren't a particularly special side, Brazil aren't at their best and contain the cheat Rivaldo and Spain should have gone through instead of Korea. Damn.

I'm sorry Katullus, I seem to have seen a different match to you. But as it's a matter of opinion there's no point arguing.

USA v Germany by the numbers. Germany (W-D-L-GF-GA 3-1-0-12-1) tower over the US (2-1-1-6-6). They have the players with the most goals (Klose = 5) and assists (Ballack = 4). They're also up there in tackles and fouls.
For the US, Brad Friedel stands out as the keeper with the most penalties saved (2). Other achievements are spread more evenly throughout the team.
If the US plays as tightly as they did against Mexico, and shut down Ballack and Klose, Americans may be doing their own crazy dance in the streets tomorrow.
Game on in about six hours. Get ready to cheer your lungs out. And, oh, get your post-match joy and hand-wringing right here.

Samsonov, I think part of the reason is because no matter how crap Germany are THEY ALWAYS WIN. And they have a history of grinding down more inventive teams. Contrast this with teams like Spain and England, who always lose no matter how strong the players.

I had little sympathy for Italy, even though there were some very dodgy decisions made against them in the group stages. But this error was so blatantly wrong as to bring the whole match into question. And I wasn't even really supporting Spain.

Japan v Turkey and Korea v Italy kick off the second half of the Round of 16. My fantasy picks are for Japan and Italy.
However, can both hosts make it through? More importantly, can Korea overcome Italy? I don't mind getting the wrong pick on that one.

I feel Italy's pain, but the sight of thousands of red-shirted Koreans celebrating was fantastic.

US v Mexico and Brazil v Belgium are next. Can the US pull it off? Will the Brazilian beat continue?

Did anyone else watching on BBC1 find the commentary sickenly pro-US? I had to switch to Radio 5 Live commentary. Well done the US though.

Turke are all over them so far. Come on you Turks.
