I tell you. If you thought the Belgium/Russia match was hard to watch and was disappointed. Try watching it when it's on between 2-4am!

Anyway, as someone who very much on the Belgium bandwagon. It's another game where they didn't play their best, but still won. Typically, a mark of a (up and coming) champion team.

On the other hard, the Russians are not happy with Capello.

Though luck as England tried hard to get rid of him

It's taken a while but I think I'm beginning to give Netherlands a break, they used to be my favourite team for years, probably because at one time their national team was my home town's own boy short of Amsterdam's Ajax.

That changed in the Final against Spain in 2010. They played a miserable game and couldn't handle loosing and turned nasty.

Maybe if they beat Italy at some point I might just buy the orange track jacket I've been looking for couple of days.

Strange thing about Capello is. As much as generally people moan about him in England as being one of our worst coaches. He lead us to 2010 Finals with our best points haul and most goal filled qualifying campaign ever.

Then the finals were OK in terms of results by getting to the 2nd round, just that we were so poor to watch.

He is actually our best coach in terms of win percentage.

I liked England during Bobby Robson period. I almost cried when lost that semifinal of WC 1990.
Along with Paul Gascoigne

Chile 0-0 Netherlands after 53 minutes is a real interesting tense affair. Chile matching the Dutch all the way so far. I thought the Dutch might be a bit to strong.

Elsewhere Spain finally winning a game 1-0 over Australia.

I kept flipping the channels but stuck mainly with the Spain match - thought the other wasn't living upto expectation.
Of course the channel flipping ended up costing me the last 3 goals as I kept changing only to find out a goal had just gone in

Finally the real Spain turned up. A classy end to a career by a classy striker.
Bravo David Villa
