Definite penalty in the first place. He should have let Toni shoot, fucker dragged everything to the left and wide anyway.

I put my money on the Italians to go through but in all honesty I would have preferred the French. C'est la vie.

Is anyone here unlucky enough to have Toni on their FF team?

I've just bought him and made him captain for the quarters.

He's a great striker going through a bad patch. You watch, one'll go in off his arse and there'll be no stopping him. I'm hoping.

Which is why I put a fiver on him at 80-1 to score a hat trick against France. I was punching the wall after 25 minutes.

...as he wins the ball in the air, composes himself, and drags his shot three feet wide.

Actually, sticking him in the fantasy team is something I considered, because I agree with you that Toni must, unlike Gomez, start scoring at some point.

However a moment in the Italy v France game keeps running through my mind, when Toni was so done for pace it was almost painful to watch, and then I hear the voice of Vanessa Paradis whispering in my ear, "do not tutch heem, Daniele, do not tutch heem".

Yeah, don't forget to update your teams, Fantastic Footballers - y'all have till 7:45 gmt tonight!

Congrats on top spot after the group stages, DRC.

It's tough choosing a team at this stage, especially as a) one seems to actually have a whole bunch of money to spend; and b) a lot of your players will be playing each other, so you have to try and work out who might do well against whom. I'm pretty happy with my team though... that said, I've retired Ronaldo from his captaincy. Watch him score a hat-trick tonight...

I have never rooted for the Germans, but soon as I saw Ronaldo go down like a regular fucking Willem Dafoe (50th minute or so) I wanted them to win.

Fuck football if it nurtures asshats like this.

Yeah, I could have done with some shots of him crying at the end. I am sad that such a great player also seems to be a complete prat. Good game from where I was sitting.

Revel, my friend. Revel.

I am almost ashamed of the smile that fell on face as soon as the photo popped up. Almost.

Thank you!

My flatmates have just HIV'd the screen on seeing that, btw

I knew that putting more Portugese into my fantasy team would be the only way to ensure a German victory.

Worked like a charm.

I am guilty of underestimating the Germans.

But thankyou for the picture of Ronaldo crying, makes it all seem worthwhile.
