>>France v Spain: What a match!
>>
>>And, from a ref'ing POV, France's 1st goal was a perfect example with which to explain the offside rule, don't you think? Henry was well offside, but raised his arms to indicate he was taking no part (was not "interfering with play"), then a good decision to play on by the 3 officials, and BOSH!

>That was a sensational game, thoroughly enjoyable. It was played fast and clean, in contrast to so many earlier games that were stodgy and/or cards galore. I hope now that we are down to the best teams there will be more games like this.
So clean that players were going down injured only from the wind of passing opponents

>No more games until Friday. What on earth am I going to do with myself? ;-)
Go through your ref's manual and unstick the pages ;-)
