The whistle was blown pretty much as soon as the ball was in play, so if he had made it, if he had missed, anything, it would all have been the same. In all honesty, I believe he blew it for all that disgusting pulling, holding and shoving from both sides, but the ball was played.

England is playing very poorly, and the fact that Robert Green was not in the Algeria match and how the English fans booed shows how much stress they're under. They're just going to get worse and worse the less people there are supporting them. You could see in that last match, they were just standing around/not being first to the ball. They're obviously disheartened.

I have no idea what the hell happened to Germany in that Serbia match. Makes Ghana look better and Australia look even worse.

I haven't seen any of the France matches (too early in the morning) but I expected more from them. I'm torn now, I want France to get in but then I want South Africa to win. Also expected more from Spain but Switzerland did put up a good game.
