  1. Demerit: Bill Clinton went in the USA dressing room afterwards, joked the players had given him more heart complaints! #WorldCup
  2. Enyeama of #NIG apologising to whole of Africa for letting people down. He really didn't and should be proud of how he played.
  3. #Maradona encouraging ref to book #GRE Greece players. It's not the right example. Otto's parked bus working well, with Samaras useful outlet.
  4. @Sebinho9 I like it. I like it.
  5. #GRE Greece seem to have chosen SIX defenders against #ARG Argentina. Sometimes, reputations are justified. May need twice that many to stop capt Messi.
  6. Bafana much better with nothing to lose. Domenech row with Parreira is last act of oddball reign. Blanc left to pick up pieces. #WorldCup
  7. Anybody watch (ace TV show) The Wire? Bernard Parker of #RSA South Africa is Avon Barksdale. Spitting image.
  8. @changeist We'll have to agree to disagree. Keita ran straight into him to provoke a situation. Kaka barely saw him coming.
  9. I think we saw the World Champions tonight. And it wasn't #CIV Côte d'Ivoire. Kaka red card wasn't fair, but won't cost #BRA Brazil in long run.
  10. Many more Brazilians here than Ivorians. This is a reality of the African #WorldCup . Let's hope for a match to do justice to the occasion.
  11. @SamPatrickLyon Drogba starts. Gervinho drops to bench. Same Brazil team as promised. Numbers 1 to 11!
  12. Just had it from behind the scenes. Drogba definitely starts. #WorldCup
  13. One day, the national stadium in Abidjan may look like this. (Blackpool manager's dream). http://twitpic.com/1yhvfr
  14. Inside Soccer City for #BRA Brazil vs #CIV Côte d'Ivoire. Magnificent. All the seats are orange... The colours of Ivory Coast! #WorldCup
  15. @elephantsonline @bbcfarayi @colinudoh No African teams in last 16? What are the chances? I think one now, at most. But I am quite tired...
  16. @komestical... And? Do you respond differently if a ball hits you in the leg? Don't you reach for your leg in both cases, if you're hurt?
  17. Still asking #FIFA how Torosidis/Kaita incident differs from Rivaldo/Unsal in 2002. Shittu of #NIG and @DicksonEtuhu saw the precedent too.
  18. @jayhipps Great to meet you too! Thanks so much for your contributions.
  19. Mixed feelings about #BRA Brazil vs #CIV Côte d'Ivoire today. Thrilled to commentate at Soccer City at such an evocative match, under lights...but predict 0-0!
  20. ...So are little teams getting better or are big teams getting worse?
