'The World Cup is a truly international event.'
'Whether that was a penalty or not, the referee thought otherwise.'
'I was about to say before something far more interesting interrupted...'
'There is still nothing on the proverbial scoreboard.'
'Chelsea haven't got any out and out strikers on the bench unless you count Zenden who's more of a winger'
'He's not quite at 110% fitness'
'The referee is wearing the same yellow-coloured top as the Slovakian goalkeeper. I'd have thought the UEFA official would have spotted that - but perhaps he's been deafened by the noise of this crowd'
'I can’t fault Mark Palios too highly...'
'It looks like a one-man show here though there are two men involved.'
'And Seaman, just like a falling oak, manages to change direction.'
'And I suppose they [Spurs] are nearer to being out of the FA Cup now than any other time since the first half of this season, when they weren't ever in it anyway.'
'The game is balanced in Arsenal's favour.'
'The unexpected is always likely to happen...'
'Nearly all the Brazilian supporters are wearing yellow shirts - it's a fabulous kaleidoscope of colour!'
'That's an old Ipswich move - O'Callaghan crossing for Mariner to drive over the bar.'
'Bruce has got the taste of Wembley in his nostrils.'
'Brazil - they're so good it's like they are running around the pitch playing with themselves.'
'It's a football stadium in the truest sense of the word'
'England could have been 1-0 down on two occasions now.'
'I know that Gareth Barry has been told by Howard Wilkinson to take a long hard look at these with his left foot.'
'I've lost count of how many chances Helsingborg have had. It's at least five'
'The goals made such a difference to the way this game went'
'That shot might not have been as good as it might have been'
'The match has become quite unpredictable, but it still looks as though Arsenal will win the cup'
'...so different from the scenes in 1872, at the cup final none of us can remember.'
'For those of you watching in black and white, Spurs are in the yellow strip.'
'Paul Gascoigne has recently become a father and been booked for over-celebrating'
'It's Arsenal 0, Everton 1, and the longer it stays like that the more you've got to fancy Everton to win.'
'The match was settled either side of half-time.'
'The atmosphere here is literally electric'
'And what a time to score! 22 minutes gone'
'Not the first half you might have expected, even though the score might suggest that it was'
