Are you going to bring this up with G-Man, that his family lived and worked there during apartheid, and that it's something he should be ashamed of?

PPV, G-man's circumstances are different to Hodgson.

Since it his personal family business, I don't think it would be right for me to say.

What, G-Man broke the sporting boycott too? ;-)

I was thinking before the penalties that I would have been in Geneva for the final and praising the Good Lord for this small gesture of mercy as I really thought England were going to do a Chelsea.

My reaction tonigh, a bit of piss-taking on FB and that's it, I was concerned about getting my pizza on the way back from a hike than badmind England.

Hodgson worked in Switzerland too, another bad mark against him no doubt...

Not necessarily. "I didn't give the political system much thought (when I signed a contract to go to South Africa)...(but after I got there and saw how things were - and I was by then under contract) I and other guys playing in the league there were anti-Apartheid". I'm not saying any more than it's a possible reading.

well, i can't say i was upset to see england lose. and i thought they didn't seem particularly upset either.

England lose = football wins. Everyone deep down knows this to be true - and it has been for a very long time.
