whoa lau eh...melted...by her smile...:o
In 2010, the spectator who caught everyone’s attention was Larissa Riquelme. She captivated the world by using her cleavage as her mobile phone holder while she supported her native Paraguay.
This time round, Asia represents with Korean newscaster Jang Ye Won who was sent to Brazil to provide coverage on the World Cup for Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS).
She was caught on camera while during the Spain vs Chile match and gave the camera a sweet smile which drove the Internet insane.
Here’s that smile:

Round of 16 onwards very hard to punt, lots of factors, possibilities. Extra time, golden goal, penalty.

Looking forward to the one day break this coming friday. Me a little bit pongchek liaoz.:*:
The Man who will steer the Dutch to a world cup champion victory!!!
At 30-years-old, this looks likely to be his last World Cup and it’s wholly apparent that the former Chelsea and Real Madrid man is doing his utmost to savor every moment of it. He’s been nothing short of scintillating so far in Brazil, making some extraordinary bursts forward with the ball and helping himself to three goals in three Dutch victories.
Robben is a player that has rid of himself of those shackles that temporarily hampered him in Johannesburg four years ago and Munich two years after. At this juncture in his career, he’s a man that relishes those big occasions, flourishing instead of floundering when the pressure is on.
Under the tutelage of Heynckes at Bayern, Robben made some major improvements to his game. His work-rate vastly improved, as did his attitude, demeanor on the pitch and all-round maturity. Instead of sulking when he was left out of the team at the start of the 2012/13 season or pushing for a transfer, Robben got his head down and battled for his place in the team.
Heynckes eventually drafted Robben back into the team and he was sensational during the run-in that campaign, inspiring Bayern to a clean sweep of trophies. The coupe de grace for the Dutchman came when he notched a late winner in the final against Borussia Dortmund, exercising the demons of a year earlier and cementing his place in the vast annals of the European Cup. A bottler no more.
Now, he’s looking for redemption on the international stage too. Robben has become a vital cog in Van Gaal’s Dutch set up. He’s a senior figure, the squad’s standout player along with Robin van Persie and now a leader too; captaining the Dutch in their 2-0 win over Chile, preserving their spot atop of Group B in the process.
After the 2010 World Cup, the prospect of Robben—then an indisputably talented but occasionally erratic and often tempestuous player—captaining the Netherlands team at a World Cup would have been an unfathomable one. But having such a privilege bestowed on him by a manager as uncompromising as Van Gaal is a measure of the strides he has made as a player and as a person.
Of course, he still harbors a reputation for being a little greedy, plus a patent for going to ground a little easy. But he’s unmistakably hungry and refreshingly industrious, attributes that will have had Van Gaal swooning and will no doubt be infectious to the rest of this youthful squad of Dutch players.
After a career that has had it’s fair share of ups and downs, Robben looks to be at his peak, both physically and mentally. He’s spearheading an unlikely charge towards World Cup glory for a Netherlands team that is united behind a shared thirst for glory and you can bet the Bayern man will make plenty more telling contributions as the tournament rolls towards the final knockings.
As we get set for the knockout stages, Oranje supporters can feel extremely optimistic about their chances. Not only do they have an astute boss and a supremely prolific forward in Van Persie, they now have a different Robben to the one four years ago: one that’s markedly more mature, unwaveringly focused and mentally ready to make an impression in big games—something he’s already done in all of the Netherlands’ World Cup matches to date.
Looking ahead, if the Dutch do find themselves in a penalty shootout, their star winger won’t be shirking his duties anymore. You can bet he’ll be the first one to put his hand up, ready to take responsibility.

More likely England will head straight to the airport after the game and fly back home. I'm sure all the England fans will give them a very warm reception once they touch down at Heathrow.
Pathetic bunch of losers...
The Italy vs Uruguay game is too close to call. I suspect a pretty cagey affair..

England and Spain have the same problem - arrogant, overpaid, overworked, overhyped, jaded bunch of players, managed by a nice guy but dinosaur-style coach...................
If Uruguay score first, the game could be very open. Uruguay need to win, Italy only need a draw.
But if Italy score first, be prepared for a cagey, tactical, tiptoe, scaredy-cat, park-the-bus, pass-the-ball-under-the-bus, tikitaka, takatiki, kiakia type of game..........................
