Germany were without a doubt the better team but it's sport, you never ever know what'll happen.

Something similar in Argentina/Mexico, Tevez scores despite being 3m offside, ref and linesman see it on the replay and immediately realise they've f%~ked up but can't rule out the goal. Argentina are 3-1 up now, but at 2-1 Mexico would still have a chance. Officiating is ruining the World Cup imo.

I like to think of Jesus like with giant eagles wings, and singin' lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an angel band and I'm in the front row and I'm hammered drunk!

Brilliant!
He's damn right though, especially the bit about the players being "brilliant individuals" and being "brilliant for their clubs" when in fact they're not!

All kicking off in the Netherlands-Brazil match.

Brazil were one nil up at halftime and looked to be cruising but they're now 2-1 down and have been reduced to 10 men following a daft red card from Felipe Melo.
