Biggest news of the day comes from France, where Zinedine Zidane sensationally admits he DID headbutt Marco Materazzi in 2006. Francois Hollande reportedly fainted with terror on hearing news of the admission.

I didn't watch either of the games last night because I was either on a train or asleep, but I hear they were both pretty good, especially the second one. Either way, all went to form and we've got a humdinger of a quarter final to look forward to between those two.

Tonight, we've got Argentina comfortably seeing off Switzerland and a very tough-to-call game between Belgium and the USA. I'm going for the USA. Belgium have looked pretty rickety so far, to me.
