Obviously you missed the England France and the 1st game. This guy has been very good, he blew early for the foul on Nani but I like the fact hes telling everyone to get up after theyve dived.
Tomorrow's game will be much better on the eye now Italy don't play like Italy any more, but I don't think they'll cause your lads too much concern Buttster old boy. As I've said before, they're a great side to watch, some really good players in there.
I digress, given that it is such a fascinating game, which was just described as "a game that could crackle & sparkle at any time". In 1973/74 I was a young pup working on a scientific research vessel based out of Lisbon and later in Porto. I recall in Lisbon our married chief engineer hooking up with a bar girl, dressed in a very short tartan skirt, and the next day going home to wifey in the UK with what turned out to be a dose of the clap, which must have been somewhat awkward! I also recall when our vessel put into Porto for a crew change there was a young blond, long haired Norwegian boy on the dock waiting to join the ship's crew, and some wit on our team exclaimed, "guess who's in the barrel tonight"?
Will be a toughy tomorrow and the Italians are used to win the big games against Germany BUTT it will be a different story tomorrow. Many very young lads with very good skills, superb team spirit who can beat even the most tricky teams like the Italians.
He has denied Portugal 2 clear goal scoring opportunities when he should have given P advantage with nani clear, and when nani was fouled another time he waved play on. He's also blowing up most times a big guy jumps and wins the ball apparently because he is - big. But other than a few games I think the refereeing has been better than usual this tournament. The officials in England Ukraine were a big exception.
Shaaaaaaait!!! Extra time here we come, if Spain cheats me from penalties in extra time I will go absolutely mental!
