Polling station seemed much busier than for the recent general election. Tho I maybe timed it coinciding with the school run today so maybe that would help explain it. Still surprised tho.

I would be very very surprised if the UK gave rise to a demagogue styled figure in my lifetime or any time in the not too distant future. We've far too much history & common sense to let that happen. The USA however? I'm not so sure. You're witnessing the possibility right now with Tronald Dump and his fascist fanatics. Not that there's not really ignorant people in the UK, there's a hell of a lot of them & today might just be evidence of that. But we're not so chaotic to enable the rise of such a doom & dread. Touch wood..

Italians didn't give a shit.

Haha! That's the creeping confidence I've been waiting for.. C'mon Iceland!

I watched the Iceland Austria game, it was great too. Terrible quality of football mind, but it was absolutely amazing nonetheless.

Gera's goal in the Hungary Portugal game might be goal of the tournament so far.
Portugal are probably the most unlikable team in world football atm, now brazil don't figure.

Dunno about this team Ireland are fielding tonight. Be a big surprise if they manage to scrape thru with that lineup. Italy have made 8 changes, normally you'd think they'd be vulnerable, but against that Ireland team they oughta fancy themselves. I'd say tho, if Italy hadn't already topped the group they might've rolled over tonight & tried to get into the other side of the draw..
