FFS BBC why show us this?

I'm off to look at pictures of Suarez crying at Selhurst Park for the next few minutes instead.

You'd think so wouldn't you, but get a draw here and I wouldn't put it past the Greeks to sneak a 1-0 win over the Ivory Coast.
I don't know, I think it could be a repeat of the Colombia game just because the Greeks offer so little going forward and their defence doesn't seem strong enough to withstand skilful players creating intricate openings - which the Ivory Coast has.

Greece may score but I think they'll concede more.

I hope you're right. No offence to Greece but I've always found them hard work to watch.

Greece need a few more yellows, they're spoiling the game with constant fouls.

Japan are the current Asian champions yet South Korea look the more accomplished side of the two. Japan have disappointed me thus far.

You get the feeling they could play all night and not score

This vanishing spray has neutered the players ability of being able to score from free kicks.

The longer it stays nil nil you fancy Greece to nick one even with 10 men

I'm getting the feeling they could be playing until the start of Russia 2018 and not score!

South Korea beat Japan 2-0 the last time they played, at the Olympics, to win the bronze medal

Greece look the more likely to score here (i.e. not very likely)

The Greeks desperately trying to get a breather every time they're fouled by staying down for as long as possible.

This refereeing display is almost as bad as Brazil v Croatia for bias towards one team.
