Never thought they were to bad tonight. Apart from the dramatics at the penalty.

There are 3 teams left for the lucky losers allocation at the moment. Serbia, Morocco and Canada. You never know! :thumbup:

Unfortunately, Morocco are playing Canada....2 mins to go!!

I'd say I'd have a spare but as it took me ten days to realise that my team was knocked out, I think I should leave a spare for someone that is properly following this!! LOL :1 :1

Eh? Your team is still in! Senegal are through to the knockout rounds. :banana-dance:

PS the spare(s) will be allocated once the first phase is complete. I'll think of some exciting way that the fallen punters can pitch for them. :D

I'll shut up and continue to try and keep up (I'm better at keeping up on a motorbike that with football tournaments!! LOL)


Netherlands beat them - I thought that meant they were out :oops: :oops: :oops:
