If it is a wind-up it's one of the most long-winded, determined wind-ups I've seen in a while. Have you seen the sheer quantity of patronising drivel he's written in the comments section? Defies belief.
Weren't we due to get up to £500K dependent on appearances for his transfer to Bolton? Wouldn't that be null and void now since number of appearances = 0? Maybe it's just a dodgy scheme by Pearce and Allardyce to do us out of some money.
Agree 100%. Switched on to BBC1 and immediately thought WTF and hunted for whatever channel they'd shoved the Croatia-Aussie game. It was always going to be a much better game. But of course the BBC will always show Brazil given the choice.
I'm pretty sure Simunic was booked in the 62nd. Remember it well as it was Kewell involved. He skipped past Simunic (got half hacked) then played a one-two with another Aussie. Simunic blocked him off with a raised hand and got a yellow. 90% certain it was him.
Looking at the replay I'd be VERY surprised if it was anything other than a break. The bottom of his leg was at a very unpleasant ankle. Best we can hope for I think is that it was a clean break and heals quickly.
