Or they might just be bollocks, because they're actually bollocks.

First half I think England keeper only had to catch one cross.

A few good substitutions in second half and they game went almost gung ho and Ireland shoulda scored and put in a great effort and were better team towards the end.

And McCabe didn't get booked - sorry Katie.

Going to watch CL next -
Man City match in Madrid is a cracker.

I missed today's work, and I'm going to most likely miss Leverkusen during the week as well. So is boss, so there'll two experienced but unfamiliar faces watching the Biggest Game Yet on Thursday. Would have been good to see Leverkusen's journey to victory, or an extremely unlikely upset. It's a bit of history and that. Oh well.

Nike Terrorist will be posting this Leverkusen teams obits decades from now.

In Germany Leverkusen had 33 attempts on goal v West Ham (who had one shot).

Hey - the Liverpool results were a disaster over the week. So Bilbao and Xabi Alonso cheered me up.
Arteta, Xabi, Emery and Andoni Iraola are all Basque and a few other lads from Euskadi have managed in England.

Inter could won Serie A last night but drew 2-2 at San Siro with Claudio Ranieri's Cagliari.

Nice win for Bohs at Tolka too

Hammers v Xabi 'kusen?
Only saw some of it - watched extra time of Villa v Lille - EMI MARTINEZ!
And was delusional enough to watch most of 2nd half of LFC in Bergamo.

Great effort by Moyes lads - they're the real deal and Hammers have very rarely had a better team than this.

Fenerbache v Olympiacos (ECL) and Marseilles v Benfica (EL) gone to extra time.
Former match could start another war.

I've met Olympiakos fans and they're sound. Noisy, but sound.

No English in Europe though, when did that last happen?

I've no idea. MC looked a bit burned out, liverpool looked short on ideas too - mad to think these guys are walking the premier league supposedly the best in the world etc etc.

I thought PSG had a bit of mad energy to them and might be in with a shout. people with knowledge will disagree for sure.

Villa got through v Lille on pens in Euro Conference.
Martinez saved two pens.
Emi got second yellow in shootout but in little known rule - yellows are wiped at end of 120 minutes!!
Even Martinez who was winding up Lille crowd was surprised he wasn't sent off.
Paul Dempsey (commentator) didn't know either and couldn't figure out what was happening.

Anyone ever see or hear of this before??!

Turkey v Greece = never for faint hearted.
