I think Blatter's visit is to a top level money laundering conference rather than the football. Whatever happened to all those criminal investigations into FIFA? Surely the FBI and the Swiss authorities haven't been nobbled? Sent from my mobile phone - E&OE
Iran...0-0...Spain... H/T....which Iranian's turn is it to lay down as if he has been pole-axed...how to disrupt the game and wind-up Spain.....other than that it's a tad one sided.
Spain ...1-0...not very impressed with them....they aren't the team they used to be....their passing a bit off these days.
Today was bore score day in the games. Everyone a 1 - 0 result and the bits I saw were a lot less than impressive. I think the Iranians might have taken time out to pray every few minutes. Having said that the Spanish have had more than their fair share of faking it over time. You sometimes get what you give in buckets though.
BYE BYE Messi.. Hone time for the argies..Crotia looked good.. Love it Hope fully the germans follow them
Argentina...0-3...Croatia.....did I luv that....yes I did...humiliating for Argentina.....was Messi playing.
It was a good watch for the neutral. Actually game of the tournament so far for me including the Spain v Portugal draw. It had a bit of everything including a lot of very dubious tackling and throwing oneself to the ground without contact. The Argentinians got what they often dish out which was roughed up. They did not like it one bit and some of the leaving of a foot in and follow up kicks was a pleasure to watch. The sort that makes you wince and go OOOOOOOOOOoooooo!!! I have to say I haven't seen a world cup game scoreline that made me more pleased. Thought the Ref did well in this one because it was always going to be difficult.
That was a good game 2great goals by musa.. All nigeria need to do is draw with the argies and they go home..
Typically scabby. I just hate it when that happens and sadly it happens to certain teams far too regularly.
Very lucky, but a good goal to win it.. Sweden had plenty of chances first half.. Any one fancy the Germans to win it now??
