and the last yellow card came after the game ended. Simonić probably called him an idiot or something

I found this Interesting: http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news;_yl...v=ap&type=lgns

The Ref may still be in another match

and both the Aussies and the Croatians could have protested the game and replayed it.

Australia had no reason to protest since they made it to 1/8 final.

Mexico is against Argentina right now (it's half time)... man o'man, Mexico is playing their best futbol in this Cup so far! (now that I have jinxed them, they probably wont).

Having Borgetti (their best striker) back has revitalized them

Hopefully they can keep up the pace in the second half

I feel so sorry for Mexico...... They put up a valiant fight, any team that can take Agentina (in their current form) to extra time deserve a lot of praise.

Well done Mexico, I salute you!!

like the commentators on the station I watched it on said :

"there are no defenders or goalkeepers on earth that could have stopped that"

Very true

I used to.

Then Shevchenko left AC Milan (my favorite team after Red Star), now I'm really mad at him.

Congrats to England!!!

Now that Mexico is eliminated, I am rooting for England to win this cup.

I'm still waiting for that spark of brilliance from Rooney that I have been looking forward to. But that injury has slowed him down a bit this cup so far I believe.
and England has to play better.

For some reason, England doesn't play good at all. I have feeling that against better opponent (Holland or Portugal; England plays against winner of that game) they're really gonna lose by a lot.

Interesting thought! But.....England only ever play as well as their opponants. If we play a decent team, our performance improves. I think that Portugal's positive attacking attitude will suit us better then Ecuador's defend, defend, defend tactics.

Beckham showed yesterday what 100% commitment was, he was playing with a stomach bug, to the extent that he made himself sick with the effort he was putting in!

We will see what happens now!
