The scope of Luis Suarez's four-month ban "from all football-related activity" is still unclear, two weeks after the punishment was handed down.

The 27-year-old Uruguay striker was suspended after biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini in a World Cup match. Players' union Fifpro argue the details "lack clarity" and a legal expert says the sanctions will be tough to enforce. Football's world governing body Fifa has refused BBC Sport's requests to explain the details of the ban.

It did, however, confirm that under the terms of the ban, Suarez, who is also banned for nine international matches, cannot train with his club and is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium during his suspension. Yet neither the Football Association, Professional Footballers' Association nor his club Liverpool understand the full implications of the sanction.

Germany's 7-1 win against Brazil was the most tweeted about single sports game ever. There were 35.6m tweets, beating the 24.9m tweets for Superbowl XLVIII in February.

After Germany's stunning 7-1 win over Brazil, we've been considering where it ranks in the list of great sporting shocks, while you have also been giving your thoughts:

Leivapool: Sheffield Eagles beating the mighty Wigan in the 1998 Challenge Cup Final. Eagles 14-1 to beat Wigan.

Calum B McLaren: Although they didn't win the tournament, Dundee United (a provincial club) taking on the might of Barcelona in 1987 in the UEFA Cup. Not only beating them at home, but also in the Camp Nou. First British club to do so. Oh yeah, they also beat them home and away in 1967.

CharlieAdamsteeth: Goran Ivanisevic winning Wimbledon as a wildcard in 2001 has to be up there surely?

"Wesley Sneijder was showing no signs of tension as he relaxed at the Netherlands' team hotel on the outskirts of Sao Paulo ahead of tonight's World Cup semi-final against Argentina.

"He was happy to pose for pictures and autographs with supporters in the hotel's reception and could not have looked more relaxed. Sneijder and his Dutch colleagues will be aiming to set up an all-European final against Germany by beating Argentina - and of course a repeat of the 1974 World Cup final in Munich, when West Germany won 2-1.

"One thing is certain. This game has a tough act to follow after the drama of Germany's 7-1 thrashing of hosts Brazil in Belo Horizonte on Tuesday."

Displaying an exciting brand of total football, the Netherlands progressed to the 1974 World Cup final with a dominant display in the second group phase.

They won all three of their games, including a 4-0 demolition of Argentina in which the magical Johan Cruyff scored twice.

Buster Douglas beats Mike Tyson - 1990: Mike Tyson and was looking to extend his unbeaten streak to 38 fights when he met the unheralded James "Buster" Douglas in Tokyo in 1990. However, Douglas surprised Tyson from the start before a flurry of punches in round 10 sent Tyson to the canvas for the first time in his career and the champion's gumshield was out before the referee had even reached the count of 10.

Tiger Woods wins the Masters by 12 shots - 1997: Eldrick "Tiger" Woods was already regarded as one of the game's top young players going into his first Masters tournament as a professional in April 1997 - he had turned pro just eight months previously - but four days in Augusta helped turn the 21-year-old into one of the biggest stars in sport. He was champion by 12 shots, the largest margin of victory in Masters history, making him the tournament's youngest winner and the first black player to win a major.

Becker wins Wimbledon at 17 - 1985: Boris Becker, 17, became the first unseeded player to win Wimbledon, the first German champion at SW19 and the youngest winner of a Grand Slam when he beat South Africa's Kevin Curren in four sets, having won his first Grand Prix tournament, at Queen's Club, only three weeks earlier.

Flo-Jo's golden year - 1988: American sprinter Florence Griffith-Joyner arrived at the 1988 US Olympic trials regarded mainly as a 200m runner and with a personal best in the 100m of 10.96 seconds, set five years previously. However, she surprised all as she took the 100m Olympic crown with ease, clocking 10.54. Two more gold medals followed, in the 200m and 4x100m relay, with another big world record of 21.34 set en route to the 200m title.

Bob Beamon's 'Leap of the Century' - 1968: American Bob Beamon arrived at the 1968 Mexico Olympics as the long jump favourite, having already registered a wind-assisted 8.39m - four centimetres further than Igor Ter-Ovanesyan's world record, but illegal for record purposes. However, his Olympic final jump put that into the shade. His 8.90m was dubbed "The Leap of the Century" and was to last 23 years.

Nadia Comaneci's perfect 10 - 1976: The display on the uneven bars by a 14-year-old Nadia Comaneci at the 1976 Olympics was deemed so good by the judges that they awarded her the first perfect 10 ever seen at an Olympic gymnastics competition. It even caused a glitch with the electronic scoreboard, which had been built to display three figures only.

'The Miracle on Ice' - 1980: At the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union, winners of the previous four gold medals, were huge favourites to win the 1980 Winter Olympics. They met the United States, made up of amateurs and college players, in the semi-finals and, though they totally dominated the second period, led just 3-2. The USA equalised and then went ahead in the third period before clinging on for an incredible win.

Louis van Gaal's well-organised Netherlands do not play a possession game at the World Cup, with the Oranje posting an average possession figure of just 49.3%, the third-lowest of any of the teams to make the quarter-finals.

However, as soon as they get the ball, they attack with pace and often successfully as they hold the joint-tournament-high of three goals from counter attacks so far.

Front and centre of the Netherlands' counter attacks is Arjen Robben. He has completed 25 successful dribbles so far, second only to Lionel Messi.

Kevin Kilbane

"I think the Netherlands' team spirit was highlighted by the decision Louis van Gaal made by substituting his goalkeeper in the last minute of extra time against Costa Rica. That proved correct in the end as Tim Krul saved the two penalties that put them in the semi-final. That shows great unity.

"Like Argentina, the Netherlands have not been particularly great, I have to say that. Arjen Robben has been that one-man spark but the players around him have not been great. Robin van Persie started the tournament quite well but was a little subdued against Costa Rica."

It took the Netherlands 20 years to gain revenge for their 1978 World Cup defeat, as Dennis Bergkamp scored arguably one of the best goals in World Cup history.

Patrick Kluivert had given the Dutch an early lead in the 1998 World Cup quarter-final meeting but Claudio Lopez quickly replied.

With both sides down to 10 men in the latter stages it seemed the encounter would go to extra-time before Bergkamp produced a sublime bit of play in the 90th minute, leaping to bring a high ball under control then cutting inside a defender before bending a stunning shot into the top corner to seal a 2-1 win.

Such was its brilliance that ecstatic Dutch commentator Jack van Gelder could only repeat Dennis Bergkamp's name over and over and over and over.

Here is another front page of a Dutch newspaper, this time it is NRC who have depicted Lionel Messi juicing some oranges.

Because the Netherlands national team is nicknamed the Oranje. And he could well be their main tormentor.
