Here is a man who would not take it anymore.
The last of the first round games, I think Russia will be too strong for the Koreans. 1-0 Russia. Will try and stay up for this one nonetheless.
 
The Russians havent really been mentioned much. Don't really have their outstanding player, so have to rely on their overall team performance and Capellos ability to hide the vodka.
 
South Korea will win this at a canter, Russia are dogshit. And you can quote me on that.
 
Oh god, this is looking like South Korea are playing for a draw.

Doing what a lot of these Asian teams do, go sideways and backwards as a priority.

Oh dear on the Russian names.....
 
"
During the first knockout round of the 2002 World Cup in South Korea/Japan, Ecuadorian referee, Byron Moreno was officiating a game between Italy and Korea. Moreno exhibited a show of purely awful refereeing. His errors were so obviously directed towards Italy, that many claimed it was all a conspiracy to push the host country further.
Moreno awarded an early questionable penalty to South Korea early in the game, disallowed a perfectly legitimate goal by Damiano Tommasi, and controversially ejected Italy’s star player, Francesco Totti for allegedly diving. The game ended in a 2-1 South Korean victory in overtime "

cant believe it was 2002...doest feel like 12 years ago
 
ooh i missed that....i like a football corruption story
Never pinned anything on him for that ridiculous Italy v South Korea game, but he was subsequently banned from refereeing for rigging two Ecuadorian league games and finally arrested for smuggling heroine.

Exactly the kind of trustworthy fella you'd hire for a World Cup knockout tie
 
When they used to have really slow build ups. Can't remember the specific dates but can remember getting frustrated watching it.

It's not necessarily a criticism, btw.
oh i just mean roughly when...ive no memory of seeing england playing that way
 
The crowd are getting excited when they get into the last 3rd. Its not happening very often.

I would love to know the stats on sideways and backward passes for SK.

I'm giving this game a miss, its like the tennis on the outer courts at Wimbledon. You know its being played but you never watch it. This is why.
 
Right, as my laptop continues to wheeze and strain under the weight of streaming, I think the second half will be on the radio in bed.
