Relatively few stinkers at the tournament so far but South Africa been involved in two of them IMO - we're a better side than the Czech's surely. Overreaction to put some of their big names on the bench after a loss against a decent South Korean team?

[Fatty Foggon]

The Mexico vs South Korea match will be interesting later on at 02:00 hr Friday.

[Michael Morris]

That was some game. Qatar down to 9 men for a lot of the game. A nasty injury to Kone, a hat trick for David, bad tension.

Great stuff.

SWITZERLAND 4 - 1 BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Not to take anything from the Swiss who played some great stuff, but Bosnia and Herzegovina are really not very good. It's really disappointing that we couldn't get past them.

I would love for Canada to win the WC

Fair play the Dutch travel in massive numbers, a sea of orange in the stadium and credit to the BBC. Their UHD picture quality is stunning in comparison to ITV, early goal for Holland

[Heathblue]

2-0 Holland after 20 mins
