hi

Well well !!

France & Germany losing to supposed much weaker opposition.

France were just not up to play. There are obvious problems in the squad and with the Team Management. Their body language said it all.

Mexico although they had less possession looked far more dangerous when they did attack. Hernandez took his goal very well. As a Manchester United supporter it was nice to see - he joined us just before the end of the season.

Intriguingly now if Uruguay v Mexico is a draw they will both go through regardless of how France do against South Africa. Any bets on a draw here??

Germany did not have their own way against a determined but not very skilful Serbia. A sending off that looked a bit doubtful left Germany to play one man short. Shortly afterwards Serbia scored. After this, inexplicably Serbia retreated in defence and let Germany do all the pressing. This nearly came unstuck and only a bad penalty miss saved their faces.

With regard to tonight's England game I too heard that Green will not play and Heskey will. But this is just rumour. Capellow has not announced his team yet.

Surely England will get together and produce a performance like they did many times when qualifying.

As for the comment about England not beating Germany in the next round.....NEITHER team are sure to be there!!!

Cheers
