First the Ashes, next the World Cup! (ahem)

Ashes? Tell ‘im ‘es dreaming!

Siddharta:

I’ve been waiting for your latest WC update, thanks for this post!

gotten where they are on talent, without refereee complicity, and against top notch opposition.

Referee complicity that assists a Football Power? What a ridiculous notion!

Triffic performace by Ghana, not surprised they didn’t win but what a fight they put up. Still, they failed to capitalise on their chances. What to do, what to do? Oz and Ghana have this same problem of being able to finish…

if france’s level of play remains as high as we saw today, the match against brazil will be a classic. just like back in the day! and i don’t mean 1998. i mean the mid-1980s when france and brazil played a very similar style to one another, and it was the best football in the world. when france had platini, giresse, tigana, marius tresor, et al, and brazil fielded the likes of socrates and zico.

Word.

And a black man scored, so I’m even happier.

Yes.

And Zidane scored, which should make any non-Spanish football fan happy.

Three for three. Go on son.

Well, Aragones is out so I’m happy. And a black man scored, so I’m even happier. And Zidane scored, which should make any non-Spanish football fan happy. Delighted France won, my home away from home.

Sid, you’re switching support away from Brazil because offside goals were allowed? That’s not their fault. If England doesn’t win, I’d want France or Brazil to win out of the remaining teams and I think I’d put Argentina last. An unpleasant team. However, agreed that refereeing in this whole tournament has been pretty shocking.

But, on another note – quarters line up thus: 6 European teams, Argentina and Brazil. Hmm…what’s happened to the new world? Such a contrast from the last World Cup.

I was screaming alone at home. But the second one was actually deflected by Ghanian player before the Brazillian player put it inside the net. But then when Brazil made the first pass during that drive was a suspect of offside.</p> The first goal was clearly off-side. I was screaming alone at home.
