    Poor decision by the judge.

    Social media activity during the Brazil versus Germany match:

    It seems most of the world stays awake for the beautiful game. The lack of activity in China is down to the clampdown there but it is interesting to note that while their national sides are not up to much at present, there is a great love for the sport in the Gulf, India and Indonesia as well as the traditionally strong west African teams.

    Is there like one guy in Diego Garcia tweeting the hell out of the match? How about Galapagos? There can't be enough people there to make a heat dot...

    That match kicked off at 4am here. It is impossible for me to believe the Philippines are all but obliterated with dots. Notwithstanding a lot of the country doesn't even have access to internet, the whole country has approximately zero interest in football at all. I watched it and I don't 'do' social media so I am not responsible for them.

    On an unrelated matter, when did the Maracana change its pronunciation? I'm sure it used to sound like a naff early 90s dance song. Same time maybe Uranus had a name make-over.

    I thought Diego Garcia was made up for 24. Or a Hispanic legendary footballer about whom Smudger would wax lyrical as a comparison to James Rodrigues.

    Interesting to compare some of the salaries the managers of the 32 entrants are earning or were earning seeing as several have resigned or been sacked. Sabella earns a pitiful amount whereas Crapello has done an Eriksson.

    Some do it because they love to manage their country...others do it for the money.
