Match Report: -
What can i say? i am absolutely gutted, cant believe we lost the match to a fluke goal, no way on earth can someone blame Seaman, and for those who asked whether he should have stayed on his line, well ask yourself this, would we be where we were today without Seaman, I don't think so, he has been outstanding. conceding 3 goals in 5 matches in the world cup is excellent, and 2 of those came today, that's 1 in 4 matches, that is an unbelievable record. Superb, well done David.
Other than that we did not play our best, Rivaldo was upto his usual antics jumping on the floor and causing havoc.
Well enough said, you all saw it, I saw it.
Gutted, absolutely gutted.
