A comment on the BBC webiste coverage

It's a pretty good point. Even through my Gooner tinted glasses it's hard to see how he's not even made it on as a sub.

So beautiful, yet so neutral.

blimey, who'd have thought it.

I guess the chances for all the other teams have just gone up. Yep, even England's.

yep it might .... but then again, it's Spain and not Italy.

I think spains midfield lacked the balance of 2008, senna played a massive role in that tournament and he was definitely missed. A lot of people will overanalyze spain after this result but I supppose if your going to lose, the group stage is the time to do it. Switzeland actuallly defended superbly, so I hope that not lost in the coverage. The result is a big one for the brazil group, people thought that ivory coast or portugal were last 16 at best but now they will be looking at an easier quarter final route. Hey spain may not even quallify for the last 16.

Doing the predicion it could also open up the draw for italy. I actually have england v brazil and italy v argentina semis with the 2 south american sides in the final.

Switzerland could easily have got one or two more there. Spain were w*nk

Another victory for anti-football today. Not to discredit the Swiss who played very well, but so much of modern football is about defending rather than attacking, and it's getting a bit dull.

In saying that, the Spain group looks like the most exciting, as Chile looked good earlier today.

If Chile get a point against Spain, then I reckon that Spain are out - if it's a case of Chile only needing a draw against the Swiss then they've got the players to do that.

Switzerland are through IMO - they'll get three points against Honduras and six should be enough to go through - it's a battle between Spain and Chile to go through with them.

quite enjoying listening to the games on the radio, rather wish I was at home watching them on the couch though. Hopefully catch a few games before and after Glastonbury while i'm off.

The Chile game today sounded like a cracker, given Spains result today could make the group very interesting.

[ampersand]

hearing the south american anthems makes me embarrassed to be scottish and embarrased for the english!

[ampersand]

turns out my £10 bet on brazil wasn't valid with the odds. so put another on spain -1, and south africa. obviously i lost, so just got south africa on the nose with my free bet! mon

Candidate for goal of the tournament?

deflection. so if it is, then it shall be a poor show if it still is come july 11th.

[beLIEveR]

Oh, didn't realise that. I'm not listening to the commentary y'see.

[ampersand]

Shabalala's strike is still the best so far IMHO.

Had fun listening to Clive Tildsley trying to pronounce Korean names while being drowned out by Vuvuzelas last night. Otherwise I'm only putting up with the loud baby toys for England games and the final.

[When Jokers Attack]

Forlan the man!

[brighteyes]

So nice to be able to hear the fans roaring when that penalty went in. Not many of them roaring, mind, but no vuvuf**koffs... momentary bliss.
