Someone working at the BBC graphics department is a Messi fan.


Rather cruelly, I did laugh out loud when I saw that, partly because it was quite funny but also in slight disbelief that someone actually did it!

I said to my wife the other night, I'm not saying England have been good, but in hindsight, the teams we 'should' have been beating, have gone on to put in really good performances against other 'good' teams, and in many ways have kind of made Englands results/performances look a little less crap.
 
Some very nice football from Netherlands - a good game against Romania... the Dutch are dominant but Romania are still in it.

I switched on the Portugal game last night for 1 minute, saw a pathetic dive and immediately turned it off.... hence its refreshing to see 22 players actually play a proper game of football.

2-0 Netherlands now - very well deserved, and Gakpo the star of the show... a goal, made the 2nd goal, and a goal disallowed for being a fraction offside.

Amazing save from Mert Gunok in the Turkish goal just 30 seconds from the end.

Netherlands were impressive, Gakpo and Simons are having great tournaments.
