      Yep, I might have to change my prediction on that one if Zidane plays. I've got 2-2 down for the ninety, but that's assuming that (a) France start burying their chances and (b) they don't play Zidane, as they're clearly better without, as Vieira starts linking up with Henry directly. I'll wait for the teamsheet on that one ...

        Ya -- I saw that but usually I feel I have a better sense of the play from numbers of shots and corners.

        I have seen games where possession was skewed a LOT one way yet the other team dominated. Soem teams get a lot of possession by being very very deliberate and without necessarily getting any chances.

        Overall it sounds like Australia acquitted themselves reasonably well (being a man up helps )

        But nothing beats SEEING the game so I am trying to time my lunch to maximize viewing of the next encounter

            Kirk is above such things as "straight" or "gay." Why limit himself in such a way?

              Instead of looking at Brazil diving, I think Ghana is the one who'll engage in that act more frequently. They dive like there is no tomorrow.

                What an horrible match
                I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                            Though I did think the Italians didn't care about winning not pretty. After all, they played catanaccio for the longest time.

                              Seriously. I thought a boring 1-0 win was the pinnacle of art?

                                The point is that we looked like France for the whole match. Del Piero is our Zidane, an OLD MAN at career's end, while our best and in-shape players (Inzaghi!) aren't even playing. The penalty almost definitely non-existing, but the game was unbalanced since the expulsion of Materazzi for another non-existing fault. I think we can beat Ukraine, but Switzerland would really beat the crap out of us
