FIFA have undermined their own World Cup following their interference to ensure the "Big Sides" have the best chance get into the competition. The Groups were seeded at the start, and if the so called big sides couldn't cope against the underdogs, are they really as big as FIFA believe them to be?

What I see is a footballing authority that has broken their own rules with regards to sportsmanly conduct, and if there is a way, the book should be thrown at them.

this is a great idea Ed - the link is for German stadia, suppose the clue was the 'de' in the URL if I'd looked first. Very impressive - I'd like to see the same technology used to show the new Tottenham ground please? Be useful for picking seats at Barcelona as most of them require an oxygen tank and high-powered binoculars.

If Nike really wanted to engage with the crowd, they should have rewarded the fans that turned up and helped project it's swoosh to the millions of those watching on the big screen, they should have printed a voucher on the reverse with money off the England rugby top or any Nike rugby training wear at any Nike retail outlet.

As soon as the guy next to me saw the Nike logo he ripped up the card and shouted a number of unrepeatable obscenities - the gist of which was don't get loyal fans who have paid good money to advertise for one of your sponsors ! I guess that Nike paid for the "stunt" but in the spirit of transparency the card should have told people of the outcome - instead it said it would just show "wear it proud" -

I agree with Jeremy a real low for English Rugby

I was there too and the whistles were ridiculous - all it did was encourage idiots who find whistles 'fun' to blow them during every Argie penalty. Very un-rugby. And I thought the Nike swoosh was a real low for English rugby.... until the paper planes proved to be the highlight of an otherwise dismal England performance.

The whole David v Goliath campaign was a bit far fetched for me and got a bit too much towards the end - however - top marks to David Haye for an excellent and well thought out performance. Great composure shown and a n achievement he can really hang his hat on! Valuev should seek a career as a wrestler, he is clearly no boxer!

Was the German band The Scorpions? See Ed I knew we'd find a way to cross-promote our blogs

Valuev's entry was absurd. He should've come in to some heavy metal music or something. That German band playing some pop song was awful and would've given Haye a boost. As for the next guy Haye is fighting - he looked utterly useless. Bring on Vlad

I still can't quite understand how Valuev failed to connect in all that time. He really is slow. Well done to Haye for getting in the ring in the first place to face such a giant

What's there not to like about this? Ticks just about every possible box. I'll see you there.

Again, I think it just shows how hopeless the Bundesliga is... Toni wouldn't last 5 mins in the Premier League.
