In honour of Super Mario, I have selected him as my fantasy captain. Please don't let me down.

Going to be so pissed if it comes back on and there's a goal.

The decision to use the 3rd sub did. Madness. 33mins plus another 30 if they managed a comeback,without an injury. Huge gamble.

You can only say that it was madness in hindsight. At 2-0 down you have to roll the dice.

In the same way as putting a million dollars on nz to win the 2010 world cup would have been madness in hindsight.

"Dani Jarque saves El Grap's arms."

 

Not exactly what I'd expected to be writing today.

Shame there's no 3rd/4th playoff at the Euros - Portugal v Germany with nothing important riding on it would have been good entertainment value

They used to, but from 1984 onwards they dropped it. Personally, I think it's a good call and think the World Cup should follow suit. The 3rd/4th playoff is a game no-one wants to play in. It's pure cruelty!

True, its harsh on the teams involved but they are often great matches to watch. I'm especially thinking Germany v Uruguay at the 2010 WC and South Korea vs Turkey in 2002, both of which were 3-2 games IIRC. From a purely selfish spectator's perspective I'm a fan of it!

You can include Germany v Portugal in 06 that was another good game.

Not to mention the 7 goal thriller between NZ and the Solomon Islands in the 2012 OFC Nations Cup 3rd/4th playoff
