Watched the Ingerlund v Paraguay game at home with the missus (neutral, in theory)and sweated buckets over the performance of.....the appalling Mex ref who has never done a game involving a European team before! Flamin' idiots FIFA! M.O.M. Crouch was a particular victim of his fussiness as was Gerrard with his needless booking, the 2nd half was dire 'cause of the heat, lack of striking options on both sides & biased officiating. Watched 1st half of T&T v Sweden in the bath (1.30 AM by now)but gave up hope when the red card was brandished. Should have had more faith in the plucky Tobogganners. Saw the Argentina v Ivory Coast encounter in my dreams - had it down for 2-1 to Argentina, was I right?
