I think the team I'm going to be backing now is Columbia. 3 reasons why: 1. I want them to send Uruguay home. 2. They're entertaining as hell to watch. 3. They gave us Shakira. 4. They gave us Sofia Vegara
God bless you Columbia!
...Just hand them the trophy.

Third France match tonight! I'm so excited! I know there is virtually no chance of us getting eliminated at this point but you never know. It will also definitely be a test to see if our team can confirm its good streak because Ecuador is definitely not an opponent to take lightly.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I didn't think our team would ever get me as excited as it did back in 98 but here we are.

What's on Tap for Tomorrow? A lot actually... Nigeria vs Argentina Nigeria has been really lucky to get into this position. On a questionable Goal against Bosnia-Hertz, Nigeria survived a grueling 1-0 contest. Argentina is already through after two scares in their group. The question is how hard they will be playing. They cannot lose the Group win, but for Nigeria, they play to Advance or at least Survive. Nigeria has shown if anything, great defense and difficulty scoring, and if they are playing an Argentina Team who may be backing off to rest, I think that this will be a deadlock to the finish, and if that is the case, Nigeria will be in good shape. 1-1 Tie Iran vs Bosnia-Hertzigovina Bosnia is done, and the most they can do is go out on a high and play spoiler. Iran suffered the worst heartbreak of the Tournament giving up a late goal to Argentina to lose, and now are oj the chopping block. Bosnia is in the same group of Heartbreak, and they want to walk away with something. Iran needs a win and a Nigeria loss to think about qualifying with Goal Difference, the question is if they will get by Bosnia first. It will be close, but I think Iran may want it just a little more, and will take a competitive matchup to keep hope alive. 2-1 Iran France vs Ecuador Probably the match people will be watching most. Ecuador would be in a much more solid position, but a last minute Swiss Goal has them still tottering on the brink. France is all but in, and with their dominant showings in the group they may only look to continue this trend and show they are a World Cup Threat through and through. A lot would come into play with an Ecuador Loss, and that's what I think will happen, in a high scoring affair. Ecuador isn't done with a loss, but the Group will be much more up in the air. 3-2 France. Switzerland vs Honduras The Cesaros got SLAMMED by France. Heartbreak and Triumph have been their story with the last minute win vs Ecuador and not even getting out of the Starting Gate vs France. Honduras has a SLIM chance of getting through, but I don't believe they have shown to have the tools to beat the Swiss, who will be looking to make up for their trouncing, and make it into the Round of 16, and I believe that's what they will do. 3-0 Switzerland. Had Hitting and Tense Matchups on the way to decide groupings, as we count down to Thursday, and the match we're all going to be watching

Iran as of now are the only team this Tournament who have not yet scored a Goal, That needs to change tonight if they are to go through.

The way I see it panning out is Suarez is likely to be banned for the rest of the tournament, but probably not beyond that. FIFA do have the option of giving him a total ban from football, but it seems quite unlikely.

FIFA do have the option of giving him a total ban from football, but it seems quite unlikely. Still, his claim that it was involuntary is absolutely ridiculous. It's blatant that he did it on purpose and it doesn't help that it's not the first time he's done this. I don't think he should be permanently banned but FIFA needs to show they will not tolerate this behaviour.

What needs to happen for Iran to advance? I'm hoping that they can get through.

Suarez should be banned from international football for at least the rest of the World Cup. I wouldn't favour a total footballing ban though. That would unfairly punish Liverpool for an incident that didn't even involve them or any competition they are part of.

I'm sure Adidas or whoever is willing to conjure up some kind of athletic-style Hannibal Lecter mask for him to play in.

Dumb comment, but I'm disappointed nobody made the "I call the big one 'Bitey'" comment with Suarez.
That said, I can't believe the guy keeps doing it, and I don't find the punishment they have for him to be fitting for a career offender.
