The goalie was brilliant, Spain could easily have been 4 up by half time.

their results are respectable..albeit against moderate teams.

Superb result tbh,long may it continue….
Japan would be the perfect result imv…..well mannered people who show respect…..

Come on Japan…..check the seating area compared to European hogs…..all tidy and litter free……uk area = landfill due to bad upbringing and pure ignorance.

Barring Fear, Cod  and the Caped Crusader I was also stumped

Do you think Croatia will give me an @rgasm tomorrow Horatio ?

I was about to ask in what form FOTA but in truth your question has stumped me?

Unfortunately,Aceform typifies many of his Race in wishing others to lose.
BTW,there would be many British POW's that take a slightly different view about the Japanese

Aahhh....is he Scottish?

YES

Bless. I'm surprised the elation of beating the mighty Haiti has passed so soon.

I am sure he will be smashing one off into a sock no matter what the result....22 men running around a field chasing a ball does that for some.

Enjoy FOTA

I think France will win,unfortunately the manure will destroy the celebrations back in the landfill…..

Like i say i would like Japan to win…..the rest (including Scotland) i couldn’t care less…..

Pico Lopes plays plays for my team Shamrock Rovers champions of Ireland for 5 out of the past 6 seasons . His block near the end and his overall game was simply outstanding , I bet the Spanish know about him now..He is Irish but his father is from C.V.
