Oh, any pictures of our Ando lifting the European Cup would be most welcome

The Brasil doctor says he doesn't think it's serious, but obviously can't be sure until they do a scan today. What chance someone in England started the talk of him doing his cruciate. As already said, he didn't look in enough pain for it to be a serious ligament injury. Guess we'll have to wait and see, though.

My favourite part of the match was when the whole stadium broke out into a chorus of "Goodbye, Dunga!" and the commentator says something like "the Brazilian fans are really trying to get behind their team now."

Was the second half much good? I fell asleep and only woke up to see Messi nearly win it at the end.

Also enjoyed how they were pretending that they had actually flown Don Goodman over to Belo Horizonte. "We understand that your picture is breaking up a bit at home." "The atmosphere is surprisingly flat here in the Mineirão." Etc.

Well, it was better than the first. Argentina really pressed for the win, but were let down by some very slack finishing.

They always do that on Sky. It's a little harder to believe when the picture goes but you can still hear the commentator finishing his sentence as clear as day.

Why don't they just admit it - they're sat in the next room. On the Spanish football, they even sometimes get Gerry Armstrong in to do the half time analysis. "Gerry has made his way down from the commentary position to join us in the studio" In other words, he's popped in from next door.

A safe assumption normally, but that's not really what happened. Anderson actually caused it, he ran across the back of Mascherano's legs and they got tangled up and fell. I can't remember which way the ref gave the foul, but we can't blame this one on Mascherano.

Is he likely to be out for the Olympics now? Every cloud etc..
