1. just came home from work, heard on the radio the Dutch have won again. was it any good?
  2. No, though match. Not many chances. There was like one shot on goal in the whole first half. Holland started the second halve good scored quickly and dropped like a stone after that. Not much to see.
  3. Don't agree with the red card given to the Australian player. Just proves that during this World Cup there are bad referees and worse referees!

    the rules said he had to go. Stopped a goal with his arm. He made no attempt to head the ball so it had to go down as deliberate meaning a straight red card. Fair decision.

    so I take it I didn't really miss anything. and I was moody because I wanted to see the Oranje game and couldn't. well, seems we still have to wait for truly great games, just few exceptions so far. hoping for an increase of quality and speed once the group phase is over.

    I don't agree with the red card, he couldn't just pull out his arm of his body there.
    Just a penalty would be punishment enough.
  7. What do you guys think of Anelka's story? What a moron.

    The French are a parody of theirselves the last tournaments.

    Anelka didn't handle himself superbly but he had every right to confront Domenech. It's almost as if Domenech is trying to bring France down. They desperately needed some life injected into them the other night and bringing on Henry would've done that. He may not have played for Barca for a while but nobody should doubt his ability to perform at this level and influence a game.

    Henry should've started both games ahead of Govou. It's a well known fact that Domenech is not popular amongst the players and it was inevitable that someone would have a public disagreement with him at some point.

    Well done anelka for speaking out, but maybe not in the right fashion.
