The state broadcast commentary was very even handed. They perked up in the brief spell around the pen along with the team but otherwise complimentary of England.

This one is a purler 
: "zhan" meaning station is also the stop on a tour etc, swapped train station for bus stop here to make a better translation:
经典 国足四部曲 揭幕战 生死战 荣誉战 火车站……
"Classic China symphony in four movements: the opening ceremony stop, the do-or-die stop, the play-for-honour stop, the bus stop"

Nope. Anything below the shoulder can be in an offside opposition without actually being offside.
"She knows where the goal is" is another goody.

It was a cracker wasn't it 
I also liked one of the South African players early on barged an Italian in the back and when it was whistled as a foul she pointed angrily to her shoulder like it's ok to shoulder charge someone in the back.
That large South African supporter is magnificent by the way

I'd feel bad for her if Italy go out, but wearing it as a badge of pride would be the only way to go

Italy innit. Don't concede even if you need to score.Fantastic achievement by South Africa! Weird from Italy right at the end have to score with seconds to go and they're passing it around at the back
Someone forgot to tell Orsi that plan...
That poor young girl. WC debut. Her whole massive extended family would have been together back home so proud, and then.. brain fart. I hope she's ok.

I remember seeing Juventus do this in a European (men) semi-final about 20 years ago. At the time I thought 'match fixing' - and maybe it was - but I think Steel Icarus is basically right. But it was Juventus so who knows.
Edit. It was this game. Lots of people were bemused at Juventus's feeble display. And it was a quarter-final. Some really interesting comments on both teams.
Juventus 0 - 0 Liverpool (Agg: 1-2)
Kick-off is due any minute, and the match starts at 7.45pm. Honk till you drop with Barry Glendenning from 7.30pm.
Liverpool? In the semi-final? No disrespect to the Harry Kewell- Igor Biscan- and Djimi Traore-carrying Scouse outfit, but if that doesn't devalue the whole competition I don't know what does. How has a team this poor and injury-ravaged got this far?

Yep but can Jamaica hold out?
(a ever so slightly tenuous connection but it's good enough for me)
imagine if they had proper funding? Big score for France

Exasperated, not angry.
Had it finished when you posted that? If so, then once again I have to say - ITVX is fucking shit.

A huge result. Well played Jamaica. Their coach was having panics on the sidelines bless him.
