The "marginally least crap team on the pitch" theory appears to be holding up.

Like I said, I haven't been entertained particularly by either.
Still, they've achieved the same goal by winning ugly so far.

One miracle and now a coin toss penalty win. Destiny?

Arrived in Switzerland last night as the football was finishing. No one about on a Saturday night and no signs of any support. Got to the hotel to find it had its own supporters lounge (FC Sion). Two hours after the game everything was cleared away and neat.

Rather ironically it appears to be the unelected "Prince of Wales"

Aye, but he's the President of the English FA. The previous incumbent we, uh, we don't talk about him.
He forgets who he is at Villa games too (and doesn't get them confused with another team who play in claret and blue), which to be honest I think is quite refreshing considering the generally reserved public face the royals have to present.

East Lancashire's three league clubs represented at last night's match. Taken by my Leeds United mate who's been in Germany since the start of the tournament and hopes to still be there this time next week to watch England in the final!!

Best footballer you have seen.
I know lots of footballers receive hype beyond their ability nowadays but just for a bit of fun the best three footballers you have seen live. I appreciate some names will be unfamiliar if they play for your local club.
So my three, and unbelievably Gareth Bale doesn't get in there.
1. Jason Koumas
2. Matt Le Tissier
3. Arjen Robben.
Can't believe I forgot Lee Trundle when he played for Rhyl in the League of Wales !

I saw 'ex greats' George Best and Bobby Moore play for Fulham at Blackburn in 1978 when it was Bobby Moore's last league appearance. They were two very good players obviously, but I didn't see them at their best apart from on TV. The best player I saw live must've been Alan Shearer in his (think it was) two years at Blackburn Rovers.
Pat Nevin is one of my all time favourite Chelsea players, along side Zola and Vialli.

* Third spot was a very difficult choice as we have been blessed with some truly great players at Ewood over the decades. I'm very tempted to include Adam Wharton. He isn't a great yet but will captain England one day.
Southgate should consider starting him.
