Serves em right for not playing Fabregas!!
As I said in the footie fred, they were really frustrated by Switzerland and their Allardyce type tactics. I've seen it done to Arsenal so often by teams that I thought it wouldn't be Spain's day.

I am so unimpressed with most of the fancied teams (Yes England you too!!)
Watching the Japanese and North Koreans and Swiss playing with so much heart is a joy to behold.

Morning....

I agree Suzy, I was cheering on Korea and Switzerland, makes it more interesting.
And it's a real pleasure seeing players giving their all and playing like it means something to them
Morning lal

I hope the tournament picks up soon , it's lacking excitment for me at the moment,

I think I might of watched to much too soon,

I think I've only missed 2 games so far while I was at work....It should pick up now....no-one wants to lose the first game (and few did with alte draws) most teams now to have start going for i to stand ay chance of progressing....

Hiya Croc, we've been allowed to have the TV on in the office while the games are on,  now the early excitment has settled down, it's more like a background glance than full on viewing, Much the same at home, I settle down to watch the evening game, then find myself channel hopping.

They are having all the afternoon games on a y sons school....the 3pm kick off somen of the kids are staying till half time hen hurrying home for the 2nd half.


And I know the older kids school have brought forward exam times next Wednesday (whicxh thye can do as long as they don't finish before other schools start theirs) so the kids are finished in time for England

The power of the World Cup.

You're right Croc they should really be going for a win now, which will hopefully make for more exciting matches.

In 2002 the school used to opened early for the matches cos some kicked off aroun 7.30am as I remember...They also hadthe school secretary cooking bacon sarnies for everyones breakfast

Ooh that was harsh for South Korea!!

Supes  4-1  darloboy

GOLA!!!!!!!!!!!

Just watching Greece v Nigeria...now this is an exciting game 

2- 1 

Semis at least 

What a match...

velvet donkey  2-1  tiddlywink

Greece really are rubbish...they were gifted that game by the idiot getting himself sent off

They're really slow Croc and aged - can't see them going much further.
I'm loving the Mexico v France match - all end to end. I'm not loving Carlos Vela getting injured though

France are sh*t

OMG Mexico have scored pmsl

Irish eyes are smiling :-)

Just shows.cheating gets you nowhere. It will allways come back and haunt you

these ones certainly are Supes - 2-0 and loving it 

If only Pam. It didn't hurt Maradona and Drogba seems to go from strength to strength

lal & MMAPP  0-2  Rexi....

Cheats never prosper.....

They're still in footbal aren't they,  give it time

Anyway I still love the Titi, handball or not. He was an awesome player for us

Germany today..my nerves are at me already

England tonight. Wonder if Capello will pick the right team and play them in the right positions.
We shall see........

I'm nervous about the match already.....I get to the point where I can't watch, and have to go for a wander round the garden...

If England play like France did....no I'm not going there....have to remain positive 

come on Algeria

Leccy  0-1  Pengy
