Both codes of Rugby have done this for a long time and it works perfectly, so don't expect football to follow suit.
Sadly I agree we won't follow suit. I'm not sure the players are lions, but the officials are surely donkeys.
So all 3 of the round of 16 games so far have gone pretty much to the form book. Will tonight's buck that trend?? And more to the point, is anyone else going to be watching?
Yep, it was enough in the end and England remains unbeaten by an African national team, but it could so easily have been an uphill battle. Why did it take them 30 minutes + to wake up and actually stretch Senegal a bit? Once they were opened up the first time, the writing was on the wall. It was almost a carbon copy of the Wales game, only starting to carve them up a bit earlier. I loved the carnival atmosphere created by the Senegal fans - I could watch them for the full 90 minutes
I got Brazil in the sweep stake at work. The German got England so he kind of wants to win the money, but England to lose at the same time haha
OMG - Morocco ! Outstanding or sensational? Take your pick - really happy for them and not in the slightest bit sorry for Spain.
Great celebration after the winning penalty. Amazing that Spain failed on all of their penalty attempts, but credit also to the Moroccans. They'll be celebrating in the souks of Marrakech tonight! !
Brazil and Ho!land on their way home now. Croatia for the cup? In five games Brazil scored just three goals. Ok, conceded just one.
I turned on hesgoal.com to watch the cricket. It has been "seized" in USA as illegal. Have to find alternate to watch City and England football tonight. Why couldn't they leave it til after the world cup. Any suggestions for alternate streams gratefully accepted.
