Well, for balance, I watched two news channels this morning, have heard two radio stations

today talking about it, and have spoken to everyone interested in football in this office, our Croydon office and our Prague office, and while every single person has said it was the best game of the tournament so far, and in many cases one of the most enjoyable games they've seen in years in any tournament, hardly anyone has even mentioned that 33.3% of the goals might have been offside.

But yeah, I guess everyones talking about it so much it's overshadowed the magnificent performance. What a shame.
