  Manaus where Italy and England are going to play is more than 2000 miles from my home.

Croatia plays game 2 in Manaus, I think. It is the best known city in the entire Brazil (beside Rio, of course), mostly because of the (2nd) best comic book ever created, Mister NO:

 

I didn't even think that Manaus was known abroad.  It's located in the middle of the amazon forest and that is all.

I feel sorry for the Croatians. The climate there is annoyingly Hot and humid for my taste.

A Dutch shoe store had a promotion yesterday were they would have a €10 discount for each goal we would score on every pair of shoes today. Well, that went well didn't it?

Which store is that?(even een kijkje nemen anders).

De bedrijfsleider van kledingwinkel Jeans Centre in Leidschendam bedenkt zich voortaan wel twee keer voordat hij met een ludieke actie komt. Klanten van de winkel zouden de dag na de WK-wedstrijd van Oranje tegen de Spanjaarden 10 procent korting krijgen voor elk doelpunt dat Nederland wist te maken.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

All of our players are ready, they've been reading the comic book since childhood, and know everything about Manaus, Amazonas, Rio Negro and Belem (that's where the story takes place). So, they've been prepared for the climate for 25 years or so :)))

WOW! Never seen anything quite like that (watched a highlight summary, missed the match though since I was driving home). What the hell was Casillas doing out there? And that first goal by V.Persie is possibly the craziest World Cup heading I ever saw.



What an amazing game yesterday..could've easily been 7-1 but holland started panicking aswell towards the end. Now's the time to bet on Spain to win cos they'll not let that happen again! Currently 12/1



Really excited for the match later too..the atmosphere in the pub will be awesome!

Predictions for today:
Columbia, Uruguay, England (hopefully) and Ivory Coast all to win



England is going down today guys. Sorry.

I say this as an American who is obviously an expert on the sport.

I predicted for Italy but I really hope England can pull a Netherlands.
