Brilliant goal from Pav.

Nice finish, that's how you hit the target, Kerzhakov.

There we go.

Chance after chance wasted by Kerzhakov.

Wasteful.

Good ball and good goal.

Baros is too isolated tbf.

And to think, my work colleague thought today's games were going to be shite

The Czech Republic should have persuaded Jan Koller to come out of retirement.

Nice.

Should be hitting the target there.

That was a canny move by Russia btw.

Not bad for the opening match.

Same old from Samaras.

SAVED.

Looks like his tournament's over. EDIT: Or is it only going to be a one game ban?

Szcesney, you fool

Ooooo, game on.

if they told you it about 20yrs ago they could have made a decent argument for it. Very possibly. He did explain it to me in that sense (in relation to the past and all that) so my laughing is probably uncalled for. Still couldn't believe what I was listening to though. but if he was trying to make the case that sunderland are bigger than chelsea because of their history then he's talking out of his paternally thumbed backside. He was arguing the point that in terms of tradition, Sunderland are the bigger club, as in the fanbase has "always" been there whilst Chelsea have only really come to prominence recently (in the last decade or so) with a lot of gloryhunters amongst the fanbase.

This ref man.

FIX!

Soft red card. Very soft.

Should have scored there. The Greek defence

Someone once told me that the mackems were a bigger club than Chelsea :lol: (in a traditional sense).
