A remarkable Spanish Fightback,even though after going one down to Tunisia,the determination,fight and ultimate victory of the Spanish are to be applauded,even though my heart bleeds at the thought of victory being snatched out of the grasp of the African team who played very well indeed considering the lack of financial and material support that their counterparts enjoyed,BUT I guess the Spanish very and truly do need to revel in the glory of this hard-fought victory…

Au contraire,the Saudi Arabian contigent was pathetic,except for a very amusing and brilliant display by the goal-keeper (concentrating all my sarcasm in the sentence) none of the other members of the squad requires mentioning,Shevchencko was really brilliant,scoring a wonderful goal and even though the Ukraine team in my opinion arent a world-class side,I'd say it was a good performance, was it just their day or a lack-lustre Saudi side that they played against ??? I guess we'll never know

Togo put up a really wonderful fight,even though they may be flying back after their final match,they will be going home without a single scratch on their pride. They spent the whole of the previous night arguing with the management over the non-payment of their salaries, imagine each country being given 7 million swiss francs and not a single player had been paid,they were not even interested in playing the match today,but they did and put up a wonderful game I would say… But no snatching credit from the Swiss,second goal was scintillating,it was marvelous at the same time a feeling of pity for the Togo keeper…. He had played a wonderful role in keeping goals out …

Looking forward to tomorrows matches….
