I love the way that tactical genius McClaren is being employed by the BBC for the duration of the tournament. That's your licence fee, folks!

I always thought he was a fanny. Would having a fanny in charge instead of a penis have made any difference? I think they would be in the same position. 8)

It wouldn't be a normal day in Britain without seeing your licence fee spunked up the wall one way or another. :roll:

How long before the cheating Turks want the game abandoned?

To be fair, it should be abandoned. You're a referee, aren't you, Dave?

Not anymore. Started to play again.

You're right though, it should have been abandoned or at least temporarily suspended. I've taken Turkey to win as well. They are a far better side. It's great entertainment though.

What are the odds on a mass brawl?

Treble your money, try to get rich...

Thought they deserved to win in fairness. A mass brawl would be great entertainment.

I haven't seen a good brawl since the Germany v Argentina World Cup match. Even then, it wasn't as good as some I've seen.

I remember the fantastically spiteful and incredibly entertaining Holland vs. Portugal from the last world cup. A full scale brawl of sorts would be welcomed at some stage during this tournament though.

I think this time, the policy of giving a wildcard to the hosts has back-fired spectacularly. At this rate, Switzerland and Austria will be the first to be eliminated.
