Would love to see Ukraine take out those cheaters..anyway, Switzerland become the first team to go out in the world cup ever without conceding a goal during normal play.

Crappest penalty shootout ever, though.

I watched that shootout and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Ukraine was fine; the one Ukranian was actually pretty cool with his little slow kick (for lack of a better term) - but I would think there are guys with one leg who could look better than the Swiss did.

That's called a 'Panenka', after the Czech player who first did it on the big stage.

It looks fantastic when it's done right. But when it isn't done right, the player looks like the biggest twat in the stadium.

LOL! Yeah, I bet.



Thanks DH. I should be all up to speed on soccer by the time this WC ends.

Then I'll have forgotten it all by 2010.

Peter Crouch tried to do it in a friendly just before the WC. At least I think that's what he tried to do - it went over the bar and was in danger of exiting the stadium. Naturally enough, he looked a right twat.
