I’m loving it - great football, loads of skill and commitment…loads of goals and incident - some dubious stuff (the ban on Suarez is spot on…no good pleading some kind of deep rooted psychological malaise, its a football field, there are rules, the other 21 players have invested trust in the officials that they will be offered protection from acts outside of the rules of the game…yep he’s talented as fuck, but he’s a cheat as well…simple) - and mainly just loving the S/C Americans - not Brazil/Argentina, both of whom are one man teams…I mean take Neymar out of Brazil and what have you got…come to think of it like Uruguay…but Mexico, Chile and Colombia…brilliant…
