MORE

More than soccer results, more than football, more than babes, more than contempt for hooligans and yobs, more than insults to other nations, more than anything or anyone, MORE, just more!
So here’s more (while we waite for the really important thing – Portugal playing Saturday).

Just a few things I’ve been meaning to say, but haven’t had the chance yet (I have a life; I don’t drink the pub dry all day like you lot):

It was a g’day indeed for the Socceroos as the Aussies skipped over the samurais in style; great display by Cahill, who single-handed, turned the game around and made the Niponic loose face, and more than that, loose points.
That put some justice on the result board, since Japan’s goal should have been disallowed as the Aussie goalie was fouled.

Good result for Spain, as well; they’re definitely not saving the best for last (and just as well, ‘cause they usually don’t stay in competition long enough…).

To me, the game of the week – and of the tournament, so far – has been Brasil v Croatia.
If ever there was a match deserving to end a draw that one was it! What an amazing reply by Croatia!

I was rooting for the boys in checkers to score… in the end, they didn’t get the point they so well deserved, but they showed the Brazilians (not so much the team but the people) some humility and won our respect… for today.
Anyone else I didn’t provoke or even mentioned, forget it – you’re just not worth it.
Play ball!
