Dream start for the krauts. Have portugal got the character to mount a comeback?

Phil already making a change...

Ray hindsight.

Here's a thing that just happened. Now I shall talk you through what you just saw. Because I am a genius at football.

Shut the fuck up ray.

presumably neither rule applies here.

fair play to yogi for having the balls to change his formation too, had to be done.

If Croatia win tonight, both Germany and Croatia will be expelled from the tournament and the semi-final will take place between the two teams with the closest coefficients to the respective expellees - England and Mexico.

You might expect Ronnie to get on the ball in the last twenty minutes, try to make something happen, even if it doesn't come off. Demand it, like. But no, he hides.

The English media is so anti-German it's unreal. Read the Guardian articles, they're very grudging. The England-reflected regard they have for Portugal and Croatia is annoying me. I hope it's a Germany-Turkey semi.

 

[Vinnie]

Fuck me Portugal were shocking in the second half. No ideas and no backbone. Apart from Deco who was a total legend.

Here, what's with all the arty slow motion replays going on in this tournament? Sometimes they're at the expense of real time action too. Is the producer some kind of metaphysical wanker?

BOLLOCKS.

ITV made a point of yammering on about how the only qualifying group to produce 2 quarter finalists was Englands and it's only now that they realise that it really was a group of death. And do you know something? They're dead wrong.

Yeah...France 1998 was the same. It's like some homo Peckinpah is the director.

I don't know where to look.

If there's one thing I hate it's art.

Ernst Happel Stadion?

Functional dreamscape or Post-Modern eyesore?

Dicks, I was cheering on the bosh last night.

Calm down will you

 

[ratmonkey]

That music being played after every goal is really starting to vex me.

 

[snakybus]

It says a lot that I had to change to ITV and put up with them going on about their so-called "qualification group of death" -- that this was preferable Ray "of sunshine" Houghton's moaning. He's getting worse, isn't he? It's unbearable.

Agreed. He's fcking killing games with his whingeing. Pointless wise-after-the-event 'analysis'.

“There were dozens of people coming in with hot-dogs, burgers and trays of beer. I thought that was just an American thing. Maybe they were Americans.”

 

[coast to coast]

Ray Houghton is such an annoying prick.

"You see what just happened there? That was shite."
