Well, hasn't this been a World Cup for the minnows. [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]

Portugal deserved to lose that game - their discipline was appalling. That tackle by Joao Pinto was a clear red, right in front of the referee as well. Very rash and with the studs showing. And Beto - the guy had one yellow already and his second tackle also deserved a yellow - when they needed cool heads there were none to be found. They had their chances to draw but Gomes looked to panic when gifted with an open goal and a flatfooted keeper. Conceicao's attempt which missed the bar was a tougher effort but luck was not with them tonight.

That Korean goal was a gem.

My tipping sheet is an absolute nightmare - only consolation is that everyone else in the office is doing worse!!
