Now, i wanted to try and start this earlier than I have done, but busyness has not helped.

The Dutch performance reminded me of the great Dutch team of 1974 and 1978 ... Johan Cruyff and the rest.

According to Vialli, Italians "grow up eating pressure for breakfast" and that English players cannot handle the pressure from fans!

So ... who invented the Italian Tank Gear box then ... 4 reverse and 1 forward gear?

Think about it ;¬)

Italians don't do breakfast as such, more 'amore'

So ... all the predictions for tonight's games have so far come to nothing ... it's looking good for England ;¬)

Just remember lads ... play as if it's Sunday afternoon football in the park ... you'll win

Did I really put Spain down as a predicted overall winner?

I'm equally unconvinced by my pick, Brazil, but I guess they're still in the tournament...
