No, they're just being themselves. We beat them 6-1 last time (before last week) as well

No, I was referring to the horrid showing KSA made in 2002... where Germany scored 7 goals and gave none to those Saudis.

I loved the Sun Online commentary - what a hoot.

* Kezman slides in and gets the ball, and gets sent off for it.

McCarthy : "Ay, 'e 'ad to go for that"

I watched it at least 15 times and I'm still not sure. From some angles it looked like a clear red while from others it wasnt all that bad. He certainly hit ball first and from some angles the contact wasnt all that much (but I think the intent was there).

Seen enough yet?

Not yet. I was more impressed with the 4th and 5th goals than the first three since defenders were at least covering Crespo and Tevez. It could be argued though that the match was already over when Kezmen was red carded.

If they can accomplish 1/4 of this result against Holland (and I sincerely doubt they will) then they will be a clear favorite.

First deliberate handball by Dr. Ogba after only 3 mins.

Awesome.

Now I can watch the TV, mute the Spanish commentary, and put on the English audio.

Damn it. There is a delay. The commentary is behind the tv. Grrrr.

Yeah, his loosing his touch.

Van Persie!!!!

What a screamer. Arsenal now have four goals in the competition.

- and van Nistelroy, 2-0!

Robben just got a yellow for diving. Even though I couldn't completely follow this decision, I told ya they exist, Spencer.

[Tuberski]

Nevermind.

ACK!

He took a nudge, but the way he flung himself drove that decision, IMO.

[Cort Haus]

Good goal from the IC too. I hope it stays that way so I can consolidate my UEFA cup slot on the predictions league.

Until I saw the goal I thought you were implying something about Van Persie's sexuality.

I love the comment by Tommy Smyth "it looked like the goalie was trying to hail a cab. The ball was in the back of the net before he had his hand up"
