I really did feel sorry for Mexico but Holland's equaliser was unstoppable and I think they were beginning to get on top. On the first 90 mins Mexico did not deserve to lose. However, I suspect, had it gone to extra time, it could have been 3-1 (as I predicted <laugh>) and I would have felt even more sorry for Mexico.

He was going down before the contact too. Fifa really should start to punish this... its cheating just like what Suarez did.

I'll take another look if I can find the video replay, didn't realise he was already on the way down! You know, I always thought Neymar was football's world diving champion from the 1-metre board, but, now, Robben is running him very close.

Enter Uli Hoeness, in vigorous defence of his precious Robben! <whistle>

Yes. We wouldn't be letting any go until they are at least 2 years old. For the time being, our foals are bred as part of a long term breeding plan so we would only part with them if we had an offer we couldn't refuse and had the breeding line covered. Romeo, being the first son of our homebred stallion and the first son of our Dancing Brave granddaughter, is special to us and won't be going anywhere.

We had a nice surprise recently. Our founder broodmare and mother of our stallion, was a European 148cm pony and, although we didn't have her pedigree, she always looked like a horse and we were convinced she was bred as a horse. We have now learned that her great grandfather on the dam side was no less than Northern Dancer.

How fantastic

My late uncle bred some thoroughbreds as a hobby - bred quite a few winners. After he died his family bred a filly Roxburgh Belle (half sister to Janabelle) that was exported to South Africa and produced the multi G1 winner Jungle Rock. He would have been chuffed to bits.

Brilliant. Hopefully he is watching from above Janabelle. I always wanted a racehorse but got "stuck" with show jumpers. Hoping to breed for a racehorse year after next.
