I’ve seen enough of this sport to never be too concerned about a removal by stretcher, there he is taking a couple nice chances on goal. Go Becks!! ---

Curse away, brujo…within reason, of course 😉 There’s something about a stoppage time goal that lends itself to strong feelings… ---

**BalmainBoy** , you know it can’t actually end on 2 - 2 don’t you? It would go to penalties. **Crusoe** - think we can hold out for the second half? I’m hoping Sven’s giving the boys the half-time talk of their lives right now. ---

England need to possess the ball a little bit more. You can’t defend Brazil for 66% of the time and get away with it. Great goal by Rivaldo! Michael Owen punished the poor defending, which isn’t too surprising… My prediction is that Teddy Sheringham has an integral part in England winning the game… ---

Best run of the tourney so far by Ronaldinho. Damn, that was great! Those England defenders better check to make sure they have the correct jerseys, while they get re-dressed. And Ronaldo is _so_ strong on the ball, down low. ---

A little OT I know, but what’s with the commercials on ESPN for these games here in the states? They must have shown this one where the guys are playing football (to 100, with a 4 ft square goal box in a tanker hull that looks like something out of the Playstation game “Abe’s Oddworld”) in halftime of every game. Perhaps there are just really few advertisers here in the States for the event, could be the timeslot.
