Before the tournament I put a £1 bet on Senegal to win the world cup at 400-1.
I but the bet on for a laugh, now it looks like I might actually win.

On the basis of current performances and general upsets in this tournament, I expect the winner to be Kevin

Well - after a lacklustre performance by the Italians it looks like we are in for a treat this next half hour

PMFJI but I've just heard that Totti been sent off 
so it now is starting to smell of penalties

Flanker Posted Jun 18, 2002
And there were eight bookings in the match 
FWIW if England beat Brazil on Friday that means that they play either Senegal or Turkey in the semi final of the World Cup !!!!
The world has gone mad indeed

So we finally know who the last eight are: England, South Korea, Senegal, Wales, the Lebanese under-16 squad, Inner Mongolia, Raith Rovers and Dennis Waterman's Showbiz XI.
I'll have a fiver on Waterman.

By the way - the looks on the Italians' faces at the end gave a great opportunity for a Dutchman to finally know what the English word 'gobsmacked' refers to! He asked me 'How would you describe that look?' and gobsmacked was the only one which fits!
And yes... that means a Dutchman is still taking part in the World cup also, albeit as a manager!

As a self appointed Lord of the Underdogs I suppose I'd better put my money on Korea 
Anyone know any Korean?????

Ah well, if it all goes tits up for Totti in the footballing section, maybe he should consider acting?
Nice arse though...
