England-Croatia

[yertle-the-turtle]

playing tomorrow

at the mighty Portman Road

Kieron Dyer should be returning to the hallowed grounds, which is cool.

Republic of Ireland are playing Aus. tonight, that should be interesting.

 

[brettig]

Kewell out injured, predictably.

 

[Flaming Friar Sr]

ah and how about holland - belgium

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

i expect wesley sonck to score, holland to miss penalties, but still ultimately winning it with a stunning hattrick from gio van bronckhorst.

 

[Popmartijn]

Exaggerating is an art, yertle. Although the bit about the Netherlands missing penalties is painfully accurate...

C ya!

Marty (who won't watch since he has a Rolling Stones concert tomorrow)

 

[Salome]

I don't have any idea how good Croatia is nowadays

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

from what i saw on Sky Sports last night, they (Croatia) didn't appear to be fantastic.


speaking of not appearing to be fantastic, wtf is up with Michael Owen's new hair cut.

 

[Mirrorball Man]

Michael Owen has a fantastic hair cut. But I'm biased.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

it doesn't look good on him. why are you bias, did you give him that buzz cut?

 

[Mirrorball Man]

I'm going thin on top so I buzz cut all the time. Beckham also looked great when he shaved his off.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

beckham looks good with any hair style but he should stay away from cornrows.

 

[Mirrorball Man]

It'll be crop circles next.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

please don't give him any ideas.

 

[FizzingWhizzbees]

Beckham

(Sorry, Man U issues. )

3-1. i feel pretty proud though...here's what soccernet's live commentary is saying

These Suffolk folk showing the rest of the country how it should be done - no boos for the Croatian national anthem. Although it's such a dirge that it probably deserves at least a hiss. Thankfully, it's mercifully short.

Still, it's no booing. That must be a first anywhere in the UK.
