Other people's crimes are irrelevant.

England could still go through.
If Italy win their next two and England give Costa Rica a damn good thrashing, then England go through.
Yes. That is pretty optimistic. This
is football, after all.
And it would then come down to goal difference and England's not doing very well there.
The brilliance of his football aside, I don't much like Suarez in the same way I'm not very keen on e.g. Messi or Ronaldo before he grew up a bit. I don't like prima donnas. I don't blame him but I find premier league football pay obscene. In one week he now gets paid more than I could get in 15 years. For that kind of money, I think he could have behaved a little better than he apparently did during all the hooha last May/June.

Best comment I heard after the England game:

For years and years and years England have dreamt of playing like the Spanish. Now they have.
Ouch.

Nobody's justifying biting, just putting it into perspective. Would you rather suffer a minor bite or a broken bone? It's no contest, surely.
Another player, Jermaine Defoe, bit an opponent in identical circumstances. There was no ban, no media condemnation. Hardly anybody even remembers it.
You would think Suarez stomped on kittens the way some people go on.
Bear in mind the way our media fawns over players like Ryan Giggs, a serial adulterer who slept with his own brother's wife and tried to use the legal system to stifle press freedom, and it's even harder to understand the hatred directed at a man who, away from football, is a quiet, pleasant family man.
Yup, SD is back.

on topic... so who are we backing now that it's open to the wider race and everyone's mother country dies off? I'm thinking Holland are looking very dangerous. They are a fast, precise and physically intimidating side that seem very hungry for it.

Speak for yourself. We still have a chance.
Hahahahahayeah

If Engand aren't going to win, and that doesn't look very likely, I'd be delighted if Holland won.

Ghana for me.

Nah, we beat those guys. How about us (U.S.)?

Hahaha I c wut u did thar. :)
So far I like Costa Rica, France, Holland, Germany. Maybe Chile/Brazil, Japan/Greece, Ecuador/Columbia??... heh, they're all awesome, hard to set my mind yet on who I would like to win. But it'd be lovely if Costa Rica got to the finale somehow.
Edit: I made up my mind: Holland VS Costa Rica in finale and Costa Rica wins. Hahaha. That would be something.
