    If you click on the highlights tab at the top of the page you can also hear some small children predict a 49-0 win for Russia.

    Idiots. They also back Christian Benteke to shine for Belgium, despite the fact he's missed the tournament with an injury.

    Must do better...

    "There is no combination play from the Russian midfield three, no pace out wide, Alexander Kokorin looks isolated, there looks like a disinterest from them, and a lack of passion. There has to be a change, because it is a real gamble going for a draw when you've got Belgium and Algeria to come."

    Andrew on text: This is a classic major tournament performance from a Fabio Capello side. As England fans we are all to familiar with this sort of slow, dull and turgid Russian play we saw in that first half.

    "I have been so disappointed in Russia. They have no ambition to win the game. There's no speed in the team."

    Russia midfielder Viktor Faizulin has a map at home where he pins flags of all the places in the world he has travelled to. You'd think he would be loving his World Cup trip, although he has already been to Brazil on a boat trip down the Amazon.

    I bet he's never been to Northampton.

    "Son has been the best attacker on the pitch. It's his final shot that has let him down."

    "Ki's been excellent, he's been getting people into the pockets, been really composed on the ball and his yellow card was harsh. His challenge was fully committed, which is what you want. It's a typical Ki performance, now I want to see him open the game up a bit more."

    Come on Charlie, together we can get through this.

    Maybe Alan Dzagoev can come off the bench and save us all...

    Charlie from Sheffield: Only a matter of time till we are reminded what international football is like. Terrible, boring football.

    "Lots of boos as the players are going off so it shows what the supporters thought of the quality. They have turned up expecting an awful lot more. South Korea have had the better of it but very rarely looked like scoring."

    "I don't think South Korea are playing with conviction here because if they were then maybe Russia would be for the taking.

    "They've not set the tournament alight. Perhaps they lack a little bit of confidence. Fabio Capello really needs to get into the players to bring them out of themselves and get into this match."

    Do you remember when Belgium scored this afternoon?

    Me neither.

    "This Son looks a really good player, he is really lively with good trickery. Yes, the chance was missed, but he was in there and he looks a really good talent."

    "Although it hasn't been the best quality game, it has been end-to-end and the players have been working hard to cancel each other out.

    "Son should hit the target from there. It is a crime to put it where he did. That was the best opportunity yet."

    "Son is in all sorts of space, pulls the trigger but the finish is just woeful. He's looking at the headlines tomorrow, there.

    "This match is here for the taking. Russia look slightly better but at the moment they just seem happy to get through it. I'd like to be a fly on the wall in the Russia dressing room at half-time."

    Wow! What a miss. Son Heung-min does everything right to bring the ball inside, a defender slips and it all opens up for him to shoot from 18 yards.

    Son tries to smash the back out of the ball and puts it miles over the bar. A truly horrendous effort. That was worse than Gangnam Style...
