The only team to go out of the World Cup having conceeded no goals too.

A unique achievement.

So farewell Ghana. It was predictable.

One more team to be eliminated and then we're down to the last eight.

I'm backing everyone besides Moley.

I'm sure I've said it before, but being in a field in Scotland surrounded by lots of drunk scotsmen on cup final day, England CANNOT be in the final, for fear of death.

OK then folks.

Today and tomorrow are the days when those of us left in discover if we will have a shot at the money.

We're playing for four places, three of which WILL win a proportion of the pot next weekend.

Farewell Sam, and the Argies.

Nice fight afterwards though. Geoff goes through to the final shootout for the cash!

That would be Ukraine going down without much of a fight tubeguru.

I bet you were putting all your hopes on them before the tournament began, oh yes.

Just the 'powers' left now, a bit sad that an unknown team didn't really make an impression the way greece did in Euro 2004.
