    South Africa still need a lot of goals as it stands but they could go through.

    Uruguay have to win 1-0 for them to go through and they are.

    FYP ;)

    It's always important to spell French with a capital "F" as Gaeilge.
    With a small "f", francaigh is the Irish for rats! :D

    England up a goal. :( I'm in two minds, on one hand, it'd be hilarious if England lost and were booted out early - after all their cockiness. On the other hand, it'll make it far more exciting if they make it into the knock-out stages.

    I want England to go through. If they get knocked out now and Capello subsequently quits like some are suggesting it'd probably mean Roy Hodgson coming in. I want him to stay at Fulham and continue the amazing job he's done there.

    Thought they weren't going to score at one stage - hit the post, had a goal disallowed for offside (though that was a 50/50 decision in fairness!)

    To be fair Mahut is still going strong. Isner may as well be in a wheelchair right now for all his mobility.

    Just been told that their last set has lasted as long as what the previous longest game was - something like 6 hours. That is an unbelievable game!

    Apparently the winner has to play their next match tomorrow though! I don't know how they'll be able to do it after today's match.

    Mahut's fitness coach must be the hardest bastard ever inflicted on young athletes.
