Go........................ol!

And you thought England had problems.....

[mockney piers]

Well I'm loving this, s Africa 2-0 up and France down to 20 men.

As with too many other dodgy decisions though, that were never red. To be honest yellow would have been harsh.

[mockney piers]

'And you thought England had problems.....'

England being their own worst enemy, but compared to the french self destruction they are mere amateurs!!

If s Africa score another and Uruguay win 2-0 would that be the most remarkable qualification of all time? In fact would that be enough?

[mockney piers]

Talk about timing, switched over 10 seconds before the Uruguay goal. My god, this could happen!!!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Irish people around the world giving France the skunk-eye

mutters..... shoulda been us

Go on SA!

[MrBen]

Text from my brother in Bloemfontein:

"Holy shit - it's deafening here"

I bet it is.

[Brendan]

I loving this. All you have to do to get every Englishman in the world behind your team is to play against France.

[Brendan]

And Irishman of course.

['bout now]

I love watching Maradona on the touchline. He looks like a chimp in a suit.

[citizenED]

Quids - that is what I'd like, but not what I expect. You are closer to the mark, I'm sure.

That Yakubu miss in the Nigeria game. Sublime!

[????]

Yup, i realised Citizen. Not sure about Lennon though.

Mexico V Argentina could be a cracker.

[Mick Mac]

Felt really sorry for France today. Sad to see them go home. They deserved much better.

[citizenED]

OK, not Lennon. Walcott. Doh!

[ruffers]

Word on the street is Milner plays. Inexplicably to my mind, assuming it's right.

[mockney piers]

France ... Sorry .... sorry does not compute.

Oh yes - all of the above. What a waste of a world cup place. And Domenech can't even shake hands at the end of the game, which BBC highlighted as shameful. Poor show.

See how desperate things must be if the Beeb recruits Brian Blessed to urge the lads on...

I predict Kipling at some point.....
