Hail Bob,
I sure can understand your feelings. But I think this may have caught up with Russia with the red card for their goalie (which was not appropriate, in my opinion). Well, not really something that will make havig to stay at home easier for you people from Wales, but... Was there any action taken after this case of substance abuse was discovered, or just the player disqualified for some time? I'm just asking because I'm starting to get a little interested with what can be done after some action was discovered or proven wrong after the game, when nothing could be done anymore (that red card for Russia, which is debatable but pretty undeserved in my opinion, and also Tooti's "lama" performance).
I'm just glad that the rivalry between Holland and Germany is not taken to such heights as years ago...
One other thing, not asking you directly Bob:
When the Russian goalie got the red card, there was quite some tumult in the coaching area. It seemed that a fan or fans somehow got there and wanted to start making trouble. The camera remained fixed on the trainer (can't rercall which one), and it was not really possible to see what was going on, except that the area was crawling with policemen at once. Does anyone have more information about this? I haven't seen anything on TV, but maybe one of you knows...
Take care,
Lord_Olf
