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….

So disappointing…unexpected World Cup win in '98,unexpected World Cup knock out in '02 and now a pathetic finish in tonight's game..

I guess the first ten mins after kick-off were the most energetic minutes I've ever seen from the french in a long time…after that goal they played like amatures…sluggishly

I admit that korean goal wasnt the best of goals,actually it was so unexpected even the koreans were shocked that they had scored it…

But is it "the end of Les Bleus",i so do not hope so…they are a great team,if not on the field atleast on paper and I hate to think that this game "could" be the last Worldcup game for Zidane,a most probable pathetic finish for a geat hero

My friend left today,the last 15 days with him have been fabulously great and the two of us caught ever single worldcup match till today,i was so depressed that i didnt bother to watch any game cept the french one and that disappointed me even more… 

Disappointing once again…

Ill try and update tomorrow,too depressed today to write anything more…missing my buddy so much :'(
