The game is one thing. Getting surrounded in an office by 3 italians colleagues pulling my leg is another.
And none of these french traitors around moved one inch for me.
Too bad we couldn't go out and have a beer ;-)

CR7's free kicks reminded me of a scene in the World Champions game against Germany when Germany made a wall of one (!) man (the short Philipp Lahm). And CR7 really managed to shoot his free kick into this wall!

Marseille is fast becoming a footballing graveyard.
meanwhile in Lille, the english fans in town for tomorrow's match in Lens were having a bit of fun with the riot police, chanting " where were you in Marseilles?"
I suspect that some of them may be laughing on the other sides of their faces by the end of the night.
in other news, Slovenia beat Russia 2 - 1 - hurray!!!

Hurray! I missed the first half hour due to that pesky thing called work but saw the rest of it including Bale's brilliant free kick, and England's 2 goals. Much better in the second half especially the end.
what price both Wales and England qualifying from their group?

I saw most of it too thought infuriatingly my supervisor wanted to go through some data just as the match kicked off - you would think they were paying me or something 
I didn't think we played as well as in the first match but it was enough.
Both England and Wales will go through - I'm certain of that Ann. Restock the Pringles!

Errr... Slovakia, actually. Much more emotive, since Slovakia's the bit of Czechoslovakia that used to have a frontier with the Soviet Union.
So they saw a great deal more of their fraternal leading partners in the global struggle against imperialism. And what they saw, they didn't like.
Odd how everyone once bordering the Soviets still loathes them. Whereas those bits of former Eastern Europe bordering Germany are all prepared to get on with the former Herrenvolk.

well Flanner, my brain knew it was Slovakia but my fingers decided otherwise.
Despite having to work I was able to keep half an eye on NI v Ukraine - superb result for NI. ! [just checking it was Ukraine and not some other country with a similar name and yes it was]. Great goals.
