I can confirm that Di Maria is a very good player. He was brilliant for Madrid this season, especially as his place was under threat with Bale's arrival. I expect that he'll be on his way this summer with the probable arrival of James Rodriguez.

I surely hope so. Belgium have been the most disappointing team in the tournament for me; so much talent, so little product. Would like to see both those teams play to their potential.
What were the crowd singing? "Why did I pay to see this rubbish, why can't you finish in normal time, can I sneak out without making a spectacle of myself"

It's dropped off a bit since the group stages hasn't it? That goal average has certainly took a tumble.
