Yesterday's commentary on Turkey - Portugal was painful, I honestly thought that any moment he was going to shoot his load talking about Ron-ALdo. Even Dindon (who can't stand football and therefore was paying no attention to it) picked up on the general jizzfest. It was embarrassing to listen to. Anyway, Tildsley's obviously decided he's supporting Portugal this year... the sooner they get knocked out, the better, say I - not least as it would shut him up.
SHUT UP CLIVE
Did you miss his little dig at Ronaldo in reference to his penalty miss in the CL final?
I'm firmly of the belief that Clive hates foreigners. In every match commentary he'll have a did at some foreign player or team whilst failing to mention the shortcomings of English players / teams.
Portugal were pretty impressive, though.

I interpreted it more as flirtacious teasing...
Clive manages a racist dig in every game he comments on, it's known as the "Tyldsley Nationalist Effect".

The Germans were very good last night.
Damn Germans.
Anyone have Podolski in their FF side? All my strikers are yet to play...

My strikers are Gomez (GER) and Villa (ESP).
The Germans looked very good... bastards. Although Gomez didn't do me that well.
My best player so far has been the Croatian keeper Pletikosa.

How many times are ITV and BBC gonna mention the spilt draw for the latter stages?
On a similar note, I can see Germany being taken apart by any team that has any strength going forward. A couple of times last night Poland exposed their weakness on the left hand side of defence. Someone like Ronaldo would have a field day.

Fuckballs. I didn't know there was any Fantasy Football going on.
I put real money on though and did very well yday. Double bet of German victory and Croatian victory.
Two single bets on German winning margin of 2 goals, Croat winning margin of 1 goal.
Nice one. Made a fucking packet.
Watching the matches I have to agree Germany look shaky at the back but very fucking good in midfield. There haven't been too many defenses that look rock solid though. Could be a striker's tournament.

The first half was awesome. Kinetic, spirited, almost total football.
Fritz was awesome. I was watching the game on German television and people didn't really understand it when he was taken out. Def. more lackluster after that.
Anyone have Podolski in their FF side?
A native Pole! Ouch.
Portugal were great, but may be lacking in terms of pure psychique. They'll gonna miss Figo in balancing out all the patsies in that team.
Also, they were allowed to play their game.
Ron-AL-do was good, but I still hate him.
Good games so far.
