Especially against Germany.

Everything is right when Jurgen Klinsman appears on the BBC, complete with an American accent.

Yowzer! You have my condolences. Hopefully you saw it as money you can afford to lose? (please say yes).

He's done nothing all game. Oooohhhh look he tried to do a Ballotelli.

It looks like we're waiting out for penalties. Not good.

I agree - he should never have started. It was noticeable against Ukraine too - albeit his goal swept his inadequacies with the current team under the carpet.

We're doing well!

So, 4-1?

Oh what a goal. Fully deserved too.

Bring on Theo at half time?

Oh, Wayne.

Much better passing game now starting to come out. If we can keep that up, Ukraine have no chance.

I always knew they would - it's do or die for them. We've just got to stay cool.

Gah!

*switches focus* COME ON DENMARK!!!

Speaking of facebook, I got a bit peed off tonight: Having to delete stupid messages from family members who don't quite understand that I don't want any rubbish about villa players on my profile (they support small heath but I'm not guilty m'lord). I mean, fine. If they choose to support a certain club and hate our club and it's players past or present then that's upto them but don't bring me into it and certainly don't post it on my profile. They mean it as banter but I don't see it as that what with work colleagues etc also viewing my profile. I've not fallen out with them over it (well kinda have but patched it up, err, sort of)...it's family after all and I love them to bits. They would do anything for me and I'd do the same for them, even more so now that I don't see them as often as I'd like. It's just facebook for crying out loud! A bad mix with family at that! If only everyone could just respect why you don't want certain posts and remarks on your profile then all will be good. Oh no, but they can't do that, they carry on posting messages until you're forced to delete them and then you're just waiting until the morning to see if A) they've forgot, they admitted they were drunk, C) they're really upset that you deleted them or D) it was meant as a joke, complete with a laugh in your face, Nelson from the Simpsons style. facebook: Ggggggggggggggrrrrr!

Yep, he seems to have (at first glance anyway!) the sought of tactical nous that we've lacked for a long, long time: playing players because they suit the opposition (rather than on reputation or the club they play for) and making the right substitution when it was needed. Good start.

Is that you, Rob?

shake, shake, shake the room tick tick tick, BOOM!

That should have been in. Brilliant (or lucky) save.

I'll say again, who's the captain?
