Well I reckon all plaudits to Poll for the most even handed ref perfromance of our tournament. Sure there were ineptitudes, but contrast honest blunders to the Merks bias and I will take this any day. We should have had 2 penalties, they should have had one, the equaliser by Harry was offside (linesmans fault there) and apparently "3 wrongs make good night" but all in all there was more to admire in the way the game flowed than if you look at that dreadful dreadful German ref's efforts in round 2.
Guuus - mate - you're a legend [img]smile.gif[/img] - BUT......
You don't stuff about with defensive organisation by playing 2 keepers in a WC campaign. Like the Germans named Lehmann over Khan early - you pick your foundation and you go with it. Don't you remember the Greece game where Kalac fumbled and muddled his way through soemhow without conceding and the Dutch game where Schwarzer was unbeatable. Kalac had a total of 2 saves to make in this match and he let both in. For crissake get Mark back between the sticks for the Italian job [img]smile.gif[/img] .
Other than that - WOOHOO
