*cof*and Portugal*cof*

PH...to use an old racing motto...you never win the race on the first lap

The winners are usually slow starters but the Spanish were very good against a good side and quick out of the traps.

No penalty or sending off though...a bit OTT.

Real edge of the seater on later...Tunisia Vs. Saudi Arabia

Quite a few bad referee decisions in that game though, the penalty / sending off being one. Also, Ukraine had what seemed a disproportionate amount of offside decisons go against them, Shevchenko was just laughing & shaking his head at the linesman by the end! The second half could have been a whole different story...

Jaidi pulls it back to 2-2 with a 90 minute strike for Tunisia. Is he aware he has just denied the Saudi players of a palace and harem of 20 virgins each? :P

ooo wot agame-
was groutng- went the shed to get sumat- popped me telly on in the shed..

30 mins later I still there !!... ace goal by yer old man sub!!.

oh and hey- ALAN SHEARER IS SOO SOO SOO BORING !! as a pundit

The Germans look ok...not the no-hopers that everyone said they were.

To say that England can beat them easily on home soil is a bit rich.

Not the worst I've seen.

Lucky Germans.

Come Ecudor
