Commentary on a German website this morning: "At last, Arsenal plays as well as Barcelona."

Well done.

Apparently he's being investigated for illegal betting, as some betting house had an 8-1 one about him eating while at the bench.

I swear to God being a Liverpool fan is a draining experience.

Man, what a screw up by Paris in Barcelona...

What an incredible comeback.

[HVC]

just looked up the score, ouch.

[The Larch]

Great show by Barcelona and all, but a defence that concedes 3 goals in less than 10 minutes (even if the penalty was probably unfair) has some explaining to do.

[Josephus]

WTF

[Liep]

Fuck. I'm two hours ahead so I went to sleep at 3-1 thinking the impossible was once again impossible. Amazing stuff.

Down 0-2 against Bulgaria in the first half. Another no-show for the next WC. 

[Duque de Bragança]

4th (!) of their group with 7 points behind France, Sweden and Bulgaria. Only 3 points from Sweden the second though. France will qualify. Luxembourg did what it could but lost 3-1.

As for Portugal, against Hungary, 3 goals scored, great goals again, but no goals by Hungary. Portugal still second, 3 points from Switzerland.

Coach took a chance when a number of regulars had to drop out due to injuries.
It will probably cost him his job. Hopefully the kid won't have his international carreer ruined because of this.
