Group stages

France and Italy have wrapped it up. Lucky me! I am 92% French and 8% Italian, which makes me a very blue loser.

I enjoyed the England game a lot. Rooney, even when sleep-running, was more impressive than in the previous games. I heard a lot of comments about playing "like they do in their clubs" as being a good thing. Call me an old fool but I would expect players and teams to be BETTER than in clubs. What is bigger: playing for Chelsea or playing for your nation?

Thierry Henry was meeting with the French president today. Sport and politics mix well in times of victory, but poorly during crisis, so I think it is commendable. I think the big secret is that someone from the coach team put stones in the shoes of every player and they could not run properly. Shocker.
