Group A looks like they really, really wanted to make sure that Poland passed the first round. As for Russia-Poland, I'm just glad it ended without any violence. They have a heavy undigested past between them

Ah. Yeah, not surprising.
Group B is crazy in the opposite way. They're all good teams - Portugal would have deserved a tie with Germany, and it's a pity only two from the four will go on.
Just saw Portugal-Denmark (very exciting!) and most of Germany-Netherlands. So Germany will go on for sure, but Portugal still has a chance, depending.
PS The latest Spiegel has an article allegedly about Ronaldo - who ends up being a comparison with Messi, very much in favor of Messi :).
LOL, the comparisons are bound to be even less flattering for poor Ronaldo after today's game...
We could have lost, we could have won: the tie was probably a honest result. Natale did a great job, as did Cassano, but the best was clearly Buffon.
I agree.
I cannot imagine how gay football players (and young men wanting to become such) in Italy must feel now.
I heard about this incident on ontd_football. What an asshat.
What an asshat. The comments on the Corriere della Sera website were of three kinds:
20% This is disgusting, he should be rebuked/fined/kicked out of the team. 30% Who cares? His playing count, not his thoughts. 50% Great to see someone who has the courage to say what so many think.
And Germany-Netherlands was great! [And to quote my Hous-y son, Mario Gomez is really good-looking.]

Um, yeah. Great.
Mario Gomez is indeed really good looking. I credit his Spanish side ;).
