Good to see our Plank Of The Season got on the score sheet on Monday night aswell......holding off the mighty John O'Shea, our man Mario dispatched a rather tasty volley late on to confirm Italy's passage to the quarter finals, whilst also confirming the pure wretchedness of the Irish experience at this competition.
Tuesday night saw another Plank regular score a pretty handy volley as Sweden put an underwhelming France to the sword, even if the result meant diddley squat to Zlatan and his teammates in terms of actually progressing. But hey...if Sweden could win their last game with nothing riding on it, why couldn't Ireland......oh stop it already.
As France seemed so keen to finish second and therefore pit their wits against Spain, England took top spot thanks to Wayne and his funny hair. And a cross which deflected thrice before landing on the aforementioned striker's bonce and into the net. And a Ukrainian 'goal' which...eh...wasn't. Thank God for JT eh? What a hero.
So, that's the group games all wrapped up then. On Thursday we see if Milan Baros (74) can fire the Czechs into the semis or if Luis Figo and Eusebio can recover from their respective injuries in time to take their place in the Portugal line up. Anything is possible.........
