    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.

    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>

    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.
