that wasn't a dive! it was a ref being fucking bizarro.
There was something quite rare in Italy-Georgia: Georgian captain Kaladze scored two own-goals, both stunners.
And what about Argentina 1 - 3 Brazil?
International football in being-interesting shockah...
Europe have 13 berths out of the 32 - how many did they have in 2006?
On Argentina, from what I read in the papers, they'd be playing Mexico in a 5th place play-off vs Concacef, so not an easy match by any stretch, particularly with the dire state they're in.
I was quite chuffed to see Hungary doing so well in Portugal's group (have a soft spot for the country, and it's sad to see a once-mighty football nation reduced to also-rans), before i realised all their victories have been against Albania and Lichtenstein (or someone similar). nevertheless, encouraging signs.
Denmark/Sweden/Portugal is a tough group though, no, considering those three teams have made most of the recent finals tournaments?
don't forget theo walcott.
