Had an assist and completed more passes in the final third than any other player on the pitch. In fact his overall completion rate is higher than anyone else in the tournament.

The game last night reminded me a tad of our game against Arsenal. Winning the ball quickly up the pitch, few short passes, full backs out of position.

Neymar's agent, Wagner Ribeiro, has launched a scathing attack on Luiz Felipe Scolari, branding the Brazil coach "repulsive and conceited."

The World Cup hosts were dumped out of the competition on Tuesday, suffering a 7-1 humiliation at the hands of Germany in Belo Horizonte – the Selecao's biggest defeat since a 6-0 loss to Uruguay in 1920.

And as the fallout from what the Brazilian media described as the most shameful result in the country’s football history, Riberio took to Twitter to launch a six-point personal attack on Felipao with an ironic list of requirements to be Brazil coach.

"One – being Portugal coach and winning nothing," he wrote.

"Two – going to Chelsea and being sacked the following day.

"Three – going to coach in Uzbekistan. Four – returning to Brazil, taking over a big team [Palmeiras] and getting them relegated to the second division.

"Five – leaving the club 56 days before the end of the Brasileirao [season] to 'escape' relegation.

"Six – being an old jerk, arrogant, repulsive, conceited and ridiculous," he finished in brutal fashion.

Scolari has faced heavy criticism for Brazil's World Cup exit and is expected to leave his role at the end of tournament, though he refused to stand down on Wednesday.

I think Argentina will look much more dangerous now that they're facing a side that will actually come out and attack them.

Mascherano knocked out but allowed to play on, just like Álvaro Pereira was against England. I want to see Mascherano play, but I don't think players should be allowed to carry on if they lose consciousness. Really, they should be off for a brain scan.

They should have independent doctors and free substitutions for head injuries imo, open to abuse sure but better that than players carrying on after being knocked out

Free substitutions would be so easily abused.

The substitutions are free, but it has to be Michael Ricketts.

Because he's bollockless. He's obviously technically gifted, but it winds me up watching him pick the safe pass rather than take on a man, play a risky pass or shoot.

Think Holland are just playing for Tim Krul to win it for them on penalties!

Well seeing as he is joint first with Muller in the German squad for chances created i'm not what you consider a safe pass.
