    Steve from Coleraine: Lay off the big man...Igor Akinfeev may just have saved the World Cup! After Algeria's anti-football and Brazil's goalless draw, the Russian keeper took it upon himself to kickstart this game (and this tournament) back into life!

    Dean:, external When that second goal went in you could hear the Russian goalkeeper's sigh of relief from the UK.

    "Both teams are going for this now. I'm still worried about this Russian goalkeeper. If you're South Korea you just want to shoot now.

    "Alan Dzagoev, making those runs in from deep brings a bit more pace and bit more cutting edge to this Russia side. Who wants it most now? Conditions will be hurting the players. Who is bravest?"

    "This is a far cry from the dull first half. Lots of attempts on goal, lots of parries and both teams are really going for it."

    Twenty percent of goals in this World Cup have been scored by substitutes. Let's leave Wayne Rooney on the bench after all.

    Andrew from Richhill on text: I'm booked onto a St John's Ambulance run First-Aid course in the morning on behalf of work, as a result I have a VERY early start. I was contemplating going to bed all game, but decided to hold out. Why? Because it's the World Cup and you just never know when something magical is going to happen, and it just has done. I'm glad I kept the faith and I'll suffer tomorrow when learning how to administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!

    The most unlikely thriller I've ever seen. Shoot on sight time, both keepers are all over the place...

    "Aleksandr Kerzhakov! Who says you're too old for the World Cup? It's a poachers goal. The ball falls to him in the box and he just swivels on it and applies a great finish. He couldn't believe his luck."

    "It is the goalkeeper again. Jung parries it, can't hold the ball and, the record goalscorer with this goal, Kerzhakov has two attempts and swivels and shoots home. The South Korean goalkeeper has to get hold of it, the ball has caused all sorts of problems in this weather."

    We've got a thriller on our hands! The two scrappiest goals of the World Cup!

    Alan Dzagoev's shot is parried out by Jung Sung-ryong, Kim Young-gwon smashes the clearance into the face of Andrey Yeshchenko, and it falls for substitute Aleksandr Kerzhakov, who has a tap-in. He's only been on a few minutes...

    Reece:, external The keepers have been trying their best to give us a goal, eventually Akinfeev yielded. Thought Jung was going to be the culprit.

    Alex:, external What is it with Fabio Capello and goalkeepers in the first game of a World Cup?

  16. Postpublished at 00:27 British Summer Time 18 June 2014

    Well it was going to take something like that to liven up this game.

    One for Nick Hancock's next Christmas video. The mother of all bloopers.

    "You have got to shoot from distance - ask the question. But that is absolutely awful from Igor Akinfeev. It should be an easy save but the technique is all wrong, he should be taking that into his body. Shocking goalkeeping. You look at him there and you wonder if he is going to be able to carry on. He is disconsolate. You can't say it wasn't coming, his handling has been awful."

    "What an error this is by Igor Akinfeev. It is straight down his throat, his hands go out to catch the ball and it goes through his hands like a knife through butter. An unbelievable mistake. South Korea have deserved the lead though."

    My word! What a shambles!

    If Fabio Capello thought Rob Green had a shocker in goal for England four years ago, Igor Akinfeev has just topped it.

    Lee Keun-ho shoots from 25 yards, he gets hold of it fairly well but it is right at the keeper, who somehow throws it over his own shoulder and into the net. A calamity.

    Great cross! Dmitry Kombarov delivers a brilliant ball in from the left which Jung Sung-ryong has to come and punch clear, and he does that really well.

    Into the last quarter. It needs ratcheting up eight notches in terms of quality.
