i sorta feel bad for france. i thought they were great 4 years ago when yer man played a blinder and headbutted yer man.

Right, here's the most likely permutations which could result in Mexico going out.

One more goal for South Africa, one more for Uruguay. SA go through on goals scored.

Two more goals for South Africa, none for Uruguay. SA go through on goals scored.

No more goals for SA, 2 more for Uruguay. Lots are drawn to determine who goes through.

And it took me so long to work out the permutations and all.

Yakubu's already got miss of the tournament (of the decade, possibly) in the bag:

In fairness to him he did put a penalty away very calmy about a minute later. Nigeria wasted so many good chances though, extremely frustrating to watch. One more goal and they were in the second round.

I watched part of that match on the RTE web-only stream, bizarrely there was no sound feed from the stadium and it was just Peter Collins' commentry in isolation (including little breathing and throat noises during the silent parts), which I could only withstand about 15 minutes of.

Haha, it must have been the ball, that's Torres' excuse anyway.
That commentary sounds amazing!

Blatter appologises to the english

He's still laughing his arse off at the FAI though.

 

[Cormcolash]

That's it like. Ireland get fucked, lets all have a laugh about it (granted the FAI did conduct themselves in a typically comical manner afterwards). England get fucked, oh we're sorry, we'll change how it works in the future, honestly.
