I'm anxious, too. I'm just ready for the guys to play well and really start to move into championship form. I think that they definitely showed improvement from the Portugal match, but I'd feel a lot more assured if they put on a masterclass tonight. I want a confident, flowing display with a few goals. Let's do this!
Carlos Velasco Carballo has only given out 125 yellows and 16 reds in his 20 La Liga games this season. No big deal.
I never agree to the speculation. All the time, some experimental changes have been put up in the lineups but we all know it's never what is displayed when the match starts.
The referee was Swiss. You are thinking of Tofik Bakhrimov, who was from the USSR but actually from Azerbaijan. The national stadium in Baku is named after him - why, Gerd only knows.
Whats wrong in naming a stadium after a personality who wasn't just a part of a WC final but whose contribution was so decisive?
