Atmosphere is good.

Yeah, you're right, everyone that didn't make the XI were on the bench.

ESPN said he was on the bench, I didn't see him though.

Quality header.

Selfishly wish Cabaye was playing against the US.

Another Olic goal, pretty weak from Turkey. Edit: Not Olic, actually.

I'm glad the playoff schedule is slightly staggered, I only have to ignore one game. The US/France match kind of fucks that up, though.

Slightly might be an understatement.

Some USA-like defending.

The play was so open there. Ready for an entertaining second half.

There's a few, it's on Al-Jazeera.

This commentator is great.

Interesting decision to try and side foot that.

It would have to fall under the sponsors IOC allows, which it won't. No clue if they'll have to take the SD signs down, but it definitely won't be called Sports Direct Arena for the Olympics.

His quotes are what's really pissed me off. Absolute donkey shit way to handle this whole situation, clearly NUFC is using Herman Cain's PR people.

I see Llambias said they need to find a new sponsor so Puma know what to put on the shirt. I was under the impression that Puma was a two-year deal and Northern Rock was a four, at least. Guess not. His quotes really don't do anything to make us a feel better about this. We can get a new players with naming rights? FFS, I'd rather it be called SJP, there should be money already waiting to spent on a new player anyway.

Worse than Ashley.

There's no other sponsor, no chunk of money was brought in going by the accounts, and it wasn't just a trial. Now we're apparently taking things a step further. This quote should be what it comes down. It's gotten to the point where no quote made from Llambas even matters now.

That's annoying

Wahey Nixon.

Good thing I'm in class

Some of his best performances, going back to the Championship) were playing in that more reserved CM role. I would think by his style of play he would be better backing up Cabaye, but he doesn't seem to perform as well when he's the main guy getting forward.

"Paid him" might be an overstatement.
