A good goal by Gyan, but what a fumble that was by the keeper to hand Ronaldo the winning goal!
:point

Gosh.....I'm struggling to keep up with the pace of the tournament. Who is qualifying from Group H at the moment? I know Belgium are.

That was nasty from Defour, he made NO attempt for the ball and waited for the mans leg to stamp on, disgraceful.

Gutted that Australia are out. I was sure we were going to top our group.

It was a poor tackle, but I can forgive him that by his reaction to his red card. Took the sending off, helped the bloke up to the floor, shook his hand and apologised, then walked off giving the ref a pat on the shoulder.

As I said, poor tackle, but it was nice to see a player react in an adult way.

Algeria and Belgium got the dream group really. South Korean football has seemingly gone back 20 years, they do a lot of running, but have shown in the tournament to have no quality with the ball. Japan are also worryingly poor, and have also gone backwards completely. Russia lack quality all over the pitch, and were unsurprisingly knocked out.
