Want more? Have a read of this. We've compared your team of the tournament to the one selected by statistical gurus Opta. Enjoy your Friday night.

Matt Davies:, external How can James Rodríguez not be in the team? Demand a recount.

Shaun Thomas:, external Courtouis, Blind, Hummels, Silva, Vertonghen, Rodriguez, Vidal, Kroos, Muller, Neymar, Messi - 4-3-1-2.

Nobbs:, external Wish people would stop saying fans are ignorant about Rodriguez not being there - he was simply not the FIRST choice of many!

Ghana president John Dramani Mahama orders an official inquiry into the country's troubled World Cup campaign.

A 2-1 defeat by Portugal put the Black Stars out of the finals, a loss which had been preceded by the sending home of two Ghana players, Sulley Muntari and Kevin-Prince Boateng, for disciplinary reasons.

"We need to constitute a commission to shine the light on Ghana's World Cup campaign," said Mahama. "We have to see the whole process through to the end."

Paul: If Thiago Silva, Kroos or Vidal played for a Premier League club they wouldn't have made this squad. People get carried away with the hype surrounding big name players from foreign clubs, because they don't see them play regularly and see their flaws. There have been far better performers like Vlaar, Medel, Aranguiz and Ayew, but they are not as fashionable because of their clubs.

Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke, who has said that Luis Suarez should seek help to stop him from biting opponents, also disagrees with Giorgio Cheillini's view that the four-month ban handed to Suarez is "excessive".

Italy defender Cheillini was the player bitten by Suarez.

"You will always find someone who says it's excessive," Valcke said. "It's not only him who says it's excessive.

"They are decisions which are made by the disciplinary committee based on what they have seen. It's not just about the incident -- it was seen by hundreds of millions of people."

Asked if Suarez's club Liverpool were being unfairly punished by the sanction, he replied: "It's not Liverpool punished, it's the player being punished."

Scott Cairns:, external Bit harsh on Neymar. He's carried Brazil. Just needs to cut out the theatrics and he will be accepted as a great player.

deniswbarnard:, external 0 Colombians in BBC World Cup XI? Reveals level of English knowledge of football and why they are out.

Portugal winger Nani has admitted he could leave Manchester United with other clubs interested in signing him this summer.

The 27-year-old is under contract at Old Trafford until June 2018 but Arsenal have reportedly joined Inter Milan, Juventus and Benfica in the hunt for his services.

"I'm a United player but there has been some interest on my behalf," Nani said to Portuguese sports newspaper Abola. "I will evaluate it and decide what is the most advantageous for me. A return to Portugal? Right now I don't know."

MikeMUFC1993:, external The five best players at this world cup so far. Messi, Neymar, Robben, Rodriguez and Muller.

Clyde:, external It shows how dim and media led most fans are if Rodriguez isn't in that team.

Karen Lynch:, external What a wonderful team - shame we'll never get to see them play.

Luis Suarez should seek professional help to stop him from biting players, says Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke.

"I think he should find a way to stop doing it," said Valcke. "He should go through a treatment. It is definitely wrong."

Jordan Rollinson:, external World Cup XI formation is a 4-6-0. No strikers, but still very deadly. Would swap Muller for Rodriguez.

John Dykes:, external No way you can have a Team of the world Cup so far that doesn't include James Rodriguez. Madness.

mrwriterman:, external Not a single player from Colombia, arguably the best TEAM in the competition thus far. Perhaps that's why though.

Thomas Muller (Germany)

Minutes played: 262 Goals scored: 4 Assists: 1

Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis: "Muller's been outstanding. He's led the line so well. The players around him have interchanged, the wide players have come inside and their movement has been first-class."

Arjen Robben (Netherlands)

Minutes: 270 Goals: 3 Assists: 1

Former Wales international Robbie Savage: "The 5-1 win over Spain was a shock. Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben looked exceptional and the pace of Robben against the Spanish back four was immense."

Lionel Messi (Argentina)

Minutes: 243 Goals: 4 Assists: 0

Did you know? Messi was sent off within 90 seconds of his international debut against Hungary for a retaliatory elbow.

Former Wales striker John Hartson: "There's been the theory that he has to do it at a World Cup, like Maradona and Pele did - these players that have gone down in history as the greatest. Now Messi is showing is he is capable of doing it at the very top level."

Forget Twitter's Soccer Guy - the serious fans take football (soccer) seriously.

Supporters celebrated USA's qualification into the last 16 on Thursday by taking extended lunches and gathering in Washington's Dupont Circle.

You can watch Nick Bryant's report on the BBC News site.

Head coach Joachim Low praised Germany's "organisation" and "build-up play" for their 1-0 win over the United States to finish top of Group G.

He told www.dfb.de: , external"We knew it would be a tough match and we were ready for it.

"The USA played very well in both their previous matches, although I was expecting them to show a little more initiative.

"USA dropped relatively deep and pulled everyone a long way back. We were clearly the dominant team and our organisation was very good.

"With the exception of the last minute, we stopped them creating chances throughout the match. We showed lots of authority. We always knew it would be a fight right to the end."
