Id say it was a result of policing gone insane but then I remembered the game was in Germany

If that had happened in the USA every lawyer between here and New York would be salivating like a wolf in a sheeps pen to get FIFA into court...

I wasn't really bothered who won this game but after the last two dives for free kicks I hope Portugal beat them into embarressment.

bababui · 06-17-2006, 10:30 AM

Looks like Portugal will win..its been suprising how little competition there have been in the groups with 5 of the 6 possible places in the final 16 already decided before the last game has been played.

bababui · 06-17-2006, 10:31 AM

Hearts momentarily stop in Portugal!!

ukhotstove · 06-17-2006, 10:33 AM

Yup I'm getting to the point were I wish the group stages were finished, no upset wins so far and you can't really see any happening.

Sdpm100 · 06-17-2006, 10:33 AM

Is it me or have all four Group D games been poor?
I think it may be that Angola and Iran know if they try and play at the same tempo as Mexico and Portugal they will lose heavily. So instead they are playing 11 men behind the ball, which is making it difficult for the flair players, and then using pace to break on the counter on occasion in an attempt to nick something.

ukhotstove · 06-17-2006, 10:37 AM

Figo was lucky then nearly had his eye out.

bababui · 06-17-2006, 10:37 AM

Yeah, lets get those pads on, man. That is a proper contact sport.

And play the games in Edmonton in January on rock hard turf, that'll sort the men from the boys.

bababui · 06-17-2006, 10:44 AM

If I was Iran I wouldnt mind a tie at all

bababui · 06-17-2006, 10:45 AM

Will Ronaldo be content to only tease us with his massive talent???
