GROUP OF DEATH!!!!!

Well, that was sort of an anti-climax, wasn't it? First off, Holland clearly bought a dodgy off-the-back-of-a-lorry sat nav to help them find goal, instead of a top of the range garmin or the like and so failed to score against DENMARK!! Oh dear. And to make matters worse, they let DENMARK!! score against them. This is only mitigated of course by the fact that they didn't let Bendtner score, but still...
And so on to Germany v Portugal which flattered neither team to be honest. It's lucky for Ronaldo though that  I haven't yet claimed my rightful place at the head of world football and banned step-overs because he would have been off for two Joeys within half an hour tonight. Did anyone else notice he had dramtically changed his hairstyle at half-time as well? The man's vanity knows no bounds.

And so to more important matters, namely the telly coverage. How much do we thank our lucky stars for RTE and its panels? No one else even comes close, especially with our lad Didi on whose accent is, according to one of our correspondants, 'a thing of unusual beauty'. And how right he is.
So now we look forward to tomorrow. First up will Spain be up for it or just knackered like the Germans and how will Ireland fare against Slaven's Croatia? Only time will tell...
