Same can't be said for players like Shaqiri who look short of sharpness. Yarmo does look good.

Penalty...game could be transformed now.

I think he looks very dodgy - loves to push the ball away or make a 'photo save' when something simpler would do. The ball that just went underneath him and out for a corner he had plenty of time to move across and make a simple catch but tried to dive and push the ball away, for example.

Slap a 20-25 yard shot on goal and have your striker following in and you'll get two or three goals a game.

Is it me or is Shevchenko a double for Klitschko?

What a poorly taken penalty.

Made a couple today but I thought he was dreadful against the Dutch.

Alioski can ping a lovely cross-field pass.
