Yep, still watching

Not only is it the only sport worth watching on TV at moment it gives us a glimpse of what we can expect to come up against to qualify for WC 2010.

Not interested in the local curiosity nor the drug run in france

I am enjoying the coverage thoroughly... it's going to be a great final... can't wait!!!

I've enjoyed this Cup almost as much as the big one... good to see the quality in Asia....

The quality has surprised me, especially from the middle Eastern countries ............ although why I'm surprised is a mystery to me because history suggests that their local players are techically ahead of us. Consider that most of the Saudis and Iraqis are all local players bare 1 or 2.

I think some well earnt respect is coming there way and if we thought we were going to get an easy ride to South Aficia we had better start to rethink........ Some top quality football being played.

This will be good for us, the harder it is the better we have to become.
