COME ON ENGLAND

Forget about any ride that a theme park can throw at you, this afternoon from 3pm we will all be going on a stomach-churning, emotionally draining, edge of your seat bumpy, screaming ride that will last definitely ninety-minutes and the expected extra-time and the dreaded penalties.

Capello can't name his team, but he can name the penalty-takers, who have all been practising diligently and religiously since Germany became our known opponents.

If you thought the group games were nerve-wracking, then prepare yourself for the worst case scenario of shredded nerves that you can imagine.

Break out the beers, stoke up the 'barby,' pray to your lord and master and let's hope, hope, hope we go back to work tomorrow with great BIG smiles on our faces, after shoving the words of Kaiser Beckenbauer straight back down his throat.

In Friday's games, the game of the tournament, Portugal v Brazil turned out to be a 'damp squid.' 0-0 was the final score.

Ivory Coast were on the bus home after their 3-0 win over North Korea, Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou won't now miss the start of pre-season training with the Double Winners LOL LOL!

Switzerland v Honduras was another disappointing 0-0 draw and Spain saw off the South Americans, Chile, 2-1.

The first of the knockout matches started yesterday.

An Essien-less Ghana beat the Americans 2-1 after extra-time with goals from Boateng after five minutes and Gyan netting the winner, three minutes into extra-time.

America's Landon Donovan had earlier equalised from the penalty-spot.

Earlier in the day Uruguay beat South Korea 2-1, Suarez scoring twice for Uruguay with Lee Chung-Yong replying for South Korea.

Uruguay and Ghana play each other next Friday, 2nd July, for a place in the semi-finals.
