Very surprised there are no Australian's or Englishmen in the quarter finals. Would have put my house on there being at least one of either.

 

[GIMH]

Don't care about footy players diving unless they do it against the whites in an FA Cup Quarter-Final. Never forgive. Never ever.

Should clear that shocking mystery up for you. The man's a national hero, fairly sure there isn't a person in Australia who wouldn't sleep with him in a heartbeat.

Apart from Cameel/McPinch (both have given him negative votes at various stages in this thread)

[Burgey]

Woods' major strike rate is awesome, but what about Pele? 91 games for Brazil, 77 goals. Lunacy.

Bolt in the second, props to Steffi though, especially those legs....
