My only criticism is the foul he gave away which gifted them their first goal. |

We watched the football on the red button and he and another man were doing commentary which basically consisted of them twatting about and playing snippets of swedish pop and really awful samples ("It's another corner!"). It was loads more enjoyable than proper commentary, and I was LOLing along. It sounds totally shit, but it wasn't. It was nothing to do with football at all, really. I've come to quite like him, after not liking him for a long time. |

Huge round of applause for her Greek fan, wearing a t short reading "fuck you, you fucking fuck", who the cameraman focussed on for a good 5 seconds as he celebrated at the end of the game. I predict complaints in abundance. |

Modric - yes, very reliable solid little player. We'll be fucked without them but that's Spurs. Every time we've ever looked meaningful we do a U turn and go back to being a 7-10 team. Mind you, Bale and Modric would be hard to hang onto even if you were Chelsea. Of course, the best rebuttal to Nikachu would be to point out that Harry was managing Portsmouth when Tottenham bought Modric and Bale  Thank goodness someone picked up on that in my absence. Modric was bought by the hapless Juande Ramos. |

Real shame for Croatia there, the match was pretty flat to start but the last twenty minutes or so were excellent. The goal was horrible to watch and really unlikely given the way that Croatia had been defending ( for not one but two players to be going one on one with the keeper  ). On the plus side, if I were and England fan I would take some heart from Croatia's performance. They've shown that a well organised and disciplined team can make the Spanish threat look pretty damp and if that team also have some creativity in front of goal, a win can be achievable.

I totally love Spain for the most part, but they're infuriating beyond belief when they just fart about without actually doing anything (also see Barcelona). Croatia deserved to win in my opinion, they tried harder and just lacked that little something extra on the night. |

But that's just it, I don't think Spain made much effort to score, it was just farting about with no penetration (inevitable  ).I wanted Spain to go through, and would have been happy to have Croatia go with them, at the expense of Italy. |

Have we stopped playing as a "team" that simply hoofs the ball up to Rooney wherever possible, yet? I don't really follow footy at all, but based on what I saw of previous matches, that's how we used to play and frankly I'm not sure him starting was a good idea. (he says, as Rooney goes and bloody scores. Not a particularly skillful goal though, it has to be said. Yet no doubt all of the commentators will start sucking Rooney's johnson again) |

Malc um, that was in response to Trooper calling England plain awful, implying that if England were plain awful, what did that make Ukraine. England didn't play very well, and yet won 1-0, they have scored 5 goals, from 5 different players, they have won 2 games, and drawn 1, they have gone 5 games undefeated under their new management, and they haven't really played well yet. The only team to have scored more goals than England is Spain (4 of which came against Ireland). England are now playing Italy, a team that has only won one game in their last 6 (I think) They have now acheived the minimum required, lets see what happens on Sunday... Malc |

I think they've exceeded expectations. If yo had said to people "second in the group, going out in the quarters to Spain" most of them would have accepted it as a decent tournament with a bad squad. Winning the group and going out in the quarters is slightly better than that, and facing Italy is a better prospect than Spain. I still think England will go out (our traditional moment of madness and subsequent 10 man rearguard action). |
