Uruguay goal! Perfect day! Just three more...

[Dont Fear The Reaper]

Fuck! Come on Mexico!

[HailtotheYo]

That was nice from Suarez there ... very nice.

[Powerhart]

Great goal, great play all-around.

Come on, Mexico! VAMOS!

[Lineker]

Oh, to be a fly on the wall in the French dressing room right about now...

Rey has really let himself go recently.

Clearly France needs:

They'll be getting broomsticks and sticking their away kit on it to wave surrender

Only 1 goal needed by Uruguay or South Africa for SA to go through according to the ITV commentators.

I think it's -1 for South Africa and +1 for Mexico.

SA needs two more goals. And ESPN just said they need to win 4-0 with the current score in MEX/URU

Nah, its one goal in each game (or two in one) as Mexico are on +1 and South Africa are on -1 now

Watching France choke is amazing. Their suffering is my sustenance right now.

[Dont Fear The Reaper]

So...how does everyone think the 3rd round of games will compare to the second round?

[HailtotheYo]

2 more.

Mexico was at +2

South Africa was at -3

Right now it's

Mexico +1

South Africa -1

I know this has been said before, but it is like watching a car crash. I wouldn't be surprised if they go out like North Korea did yesterday.

Right now it's

Mexico +1

South Africa -1

That's exactly like it is right now. Was a 5 goal differential, now it's just a 2 goal differential.

Is it true Manchester United are interested in Pablo Barrera? Read it on ESPN's website.

So...how does everyone think the 3rd round of games will compare to the second round?

The second round was about lots of goals (in contrast to the first) the third round is all about getting the job done, or in the case of teams I don't like... Not getting the job done

Round One Stat :

25 goals in 16 games : A goal per 57.6mins

6 draws & 6 1-0 wins

Only four teams scored two goals, and only two games had three or more goals

Round Two Stat :

42 goals in 16 games : A goal per 34.3mins

4 draws & 3 1-0 wins

Seven games had three or more goals, nine teams scored two goals and four of them had three or more
