He's suspended for 4 months. He'll have to find something else to bite then.

+ the next 9 games with Uruguay.

And for liverpool, although he was most likely off to Barca anyway so just means 4 months chilling in the Catalonia sunlight.

Germany vs USA was not the most interesting match ive seen, still the Germans played very good IMO.

I hope they were just trying to play safe not risking injuries and cards.

That last minute action of the US team was pretty awesome though.

South america is winning the cup right now. Do the fans in the stadion really have such an impact? It seems so.

European teams in World Cups held in the Americas have always struggled compared to the teams from that continent. I think it's more to due with the weather/climate. It gets as hot around the Mediterranean, but the humidity is significantly worse than in Europe and the difference in altitude between stadiums is a factor (i.e. Ecuador plays it's qualifying matches at high altitude and won all but one of it's home games).

What a sensational and breathtaking game. Chile played a tremendous game against favored host - Brazil. Just imagine, Brazil losing during 1/8 finals (strange isn't it)? I'm sure their president would call for a national mourning day if not a week! Hopefully Julio Cesar saved the whole country for a disaster :)

Brazil getting knocked out would have made public interest drop to virtually zero and the social unrest would have resurfaced. Two things FIFA really doesn't want to see.

Now that was a great match, feel sorry for Mexico though, IMO they played a bit better.

Why? Giants getting knocked out of tournaments is part of the allure. I do agree with your second point though but it's most likely gonna happen anyways

I mean in Brazil. More empty spots in stadiums, life in Brazil going on as if there isn't a WC being played, commercial ventures in Brazil coming to a halt etc. Brazilians love football as long as Brazil wins.

Once again, a very doubtful penalty. It's amazing that FIFA doesn't understand that video recording and arbitrage is absolutely necessary for such major décisions. It works a treat for Rugby, there isn't any reasonable reason that it can't work for Football.
