And John Terry and I believe Ashley Cole and Sol Campbell played in the final.

Also, Reds forgot Andy Cole who did play almost every game for ManU including that final, and Paul Scholes who missed the final but played most games and got a medal.

I'm somewhat on the fence of many other things being said in your discussion, but you're trying to tell us Andy Cole is (was) a good player, are you?

And yes, the England squad is completely unbalanced.

I think it's great the Spanish commentators are that excited.

ACK!

I didn't forget Scholes.....:O)

[MikeH]

Did anyone mention Paul Scholes?

Group G is pretty simple really

France is out with a loss or a draw
France is in with a 2 goal win regardless of the SK-Swiss result
France is in with a one goal win if the SK-Swiss game has a winner OR if the SK-Swiss game is a draw and France outscore SK by 3

The Swiss advance with a win or draw
SK advances with a win and are out with a loss (if France wins). If they draw they advance ONLY if France draws, loses or wins by a single goal in circumstances where they outscore Korea by less than 2 in their respective games


** In the event that SK-Swiss is a draw AND France wins by exactly one AND they outcore Korea by exactly 2 ( ie 2-1 and 0-0 ) I don't know what happens. Does it really go to drawing lots? I have always hated that whole idea and in circumstances whhere the teams are all in the same city/area I always wondered why they couldn't schedule some actual contest between the two teams. In my view even a penalty kick contest would be better than a coin flip

Is it just me or are groups G and H incredibly boring?

[Tuberski]

I like these commentators:

"HERE COME THE SONS OF THE DESERT!!!!"



ACK!

[Lawrence of Arabia]

its just you. Group G has been the most interesting up to now. We will see how it does tonite.

[SpencerH]

The commentator just said "and here comes the sons of the desert" as the Saudis counter-attacked.

[Tuberski]

Damn, you're slow Spence.

ACK!

There's an example of the world famous Swiss sense of humour.
