Iceland win it at the death, condemning Portugal to third place.
We all know what that means.
 
Iceland last minute goal saves England from playing Portugal. We will now go out to our foes from The Cod Wars.

"Captain Bird's Eye - your boys will get one hell of a beating!"

Great news for us. I'd rather play a Championship side than Nuneaten Boro with Ronaldo.

Now to valiantly cock it up :(
 
For the second day in a row an unjust penalty was saved: the corner Austria took in the build-up to the penalty was taken from outside the quarter circle, yet the ref (who was pretty bloody poor, it has to be said) let play go on.
 
There's a theory doing the rounds that the reason why Srna was whispering in Subasic's ear before the penalty is because Modric was on the sidelines telling his teammates how Ramos takes his penalties.

Consider it confirmed. :)
From my Croatia contact : the guy said to the local press that he was told by Modric that Ramos will go to the right.

Another Italy match, another load of diving, cynical fouling and getting away with murder. Plus ca change.
 
Greetings from a bar in Cork!!
Safe to say that the decision NOT to give a penalty didn't go down well. But there again it was one of the most blatant ever.
Expect a soft pen at the other end or similar.... Can't have a defeat for one of the UEFA darlings, now can we?
Platini may be gone, but the corruption continues..... <laugh>

Poorest refereeing performance so far. He has fallen for every Italian trick.
