Quite a few GAME stores are running Eon Ticket distributions via Streetpass in the UK. A relief really seeing as it would have been fairly difficult to obtain otherwise.

Just gave MMing a go for the first time looking for a shiny Taillow, took quite a while but on the 1006th egg I got what I was after, really happy that I can now get a shiny of my favourite Pokemon when I evolve it. :D Previously I'd been doing a bit of consecutive fishing to look for...

Götze has surely won it for Germany, what a brilliant goal. Amazing chest control and a sublime finish with 7 minutes left in extra time.

Just under an hour until kick-off, getting properly excited now. This has been such a brilliant tournament, post World Cup blues are gonna get me down tomorrow though. :( Anyway, let's hope for a good final. It should be a tight one but I think that Germany will run out winners in the end...

Yeah, that sounds about right. The Brazilian players probably already have their minds on heading off for a holiday before the football season kicks off again. The Netherlands played reasonably well today, not much more than that though, Brazil were poor.

His fall into the box was pretty theatrical, can't believe the ref gave a penalty rather than a free kick, looked quite clear that the original contact was outside the box. What shocked me most though was that Thiago Silva wasn't sent off despite denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.

3rd/4th place playoff on at the moment, the Netherlands have taken a 2-0 lead within 17 minutes. This match always seems kinda pointless to me, nobody wants to be in it but teams still seem to hold it in some regard. I suppose it's a chance for a little redemption after losing a semi-final though.

Yeah, he was fairly anonymous, didn't do anything of note really. He might step up in the final, or maybe he'll struggle to cope with the pressure. We'll have to see.

Ugh, that game was really dull. One good chance for Robben in the second half but a poor touch took it away from him at the crucial moment. Disappointed that we won't see a Germany vs Netherlands final but it will be interesting to see how Messi performs on the biggest stage of all.

A minute of applause as tribute to Alfredo Di Stéfano who passed away aged 88 on Monday. Nice gesture for a phenomenal player.

Absolutely. Silva is the backbone of the Brazilian defence and as you say, without him there was a real lack of defensive organisation. I think part of what Neymar offers to Brazil is simply his ability to create chances all on his own. In attack the go-to option seemed to be long range passes...

I had to watch the highlights from last night again, and I can't recall any players putting in a worse defensive performance than Marcelo and David Luiz did. Truly shocking, I'm going on about it a bit but that was monumental. Hopefully, and I expect it will be, tonight's game will at least be...

Germany were great but Brazil, well what a shambles they were in that game. Too simplistic to put it down to one player perhaps but the lack of Thiago Silva was so vet apparent. No organisation in their defending to speak of and astonishingly it could have been even worse, it was just so easy...

Although I wanted Germany to win, this is actually quite a shame. This match could have been quite a good contest but it's been about as far from that as it gets.

Unbelievable...Germany 4-0 up 25 minutes in. I thought Brazil would struggle but this is unprecedented. Khedira makes it 5. This is getting humiliating for Brazil now.

My thoughts on the upcoming semi-finals: Brazil vs Germany - Certainly the youngest test yet for Brazil, not just in terms of their opposition but also the absences of both Neymar and Thiago Silva. Hard to see where the goals could come from for Brazil without Neymar and any team would miss one...

This sort of thing is planned so meticulously though. I'm sure what little data there was on the Costa Rican penalty takers was studied beforehand and conveyed to Krul before the shoot-out, likewise for Navas although it didn't do him any favours in the end. In that situation you have to do all...

While I can understand why it might be seen as unsportsmanlike of Krul to do what he did in confronting the Costa Rican penalty takers, you can't deny that his tactics in psyching out the opposition came off. Well, presumably they did seeing as he went the right way for each penalty and made the...

Brazil vs Argentina or Germany vs Netherlands would both be pretty tasty finals, but I fear if two rivals face each other then they may well end up kicking lumps out of each other. I've given it some thought and come to the conclusion that a Germany vs Argentina final could well be great. I...

On one hand it would be great to see Costa Rica go through seeing as they're underdogs (not to take away from their performances so far) but then again a potential Germany vs Netherlands final would be awesome...I guess I'll try to remain neutral.
