(Don't stop commenting on my previous post. It is now getting vitriolic down there in the 90+ region of the comments. More to follow on Sven - but..)
Meanwhile, back at the business end of the World Cup, the 成人论坛/ITV have announced how their coverage of the QFs will be divvied up. The good news (bad news if you hate the Beeb) is that we have got the England-Portugal match. However, it is all becoming academic if you watch what's happening on the web: enterprising fans have been taking DV cameras, or using mobiles, of the match action. This being the "me" generation, most of the footage is of them gurning into the camera - but occasionally you get match action. Another popular thing going on is people videoing the TV screen during games and then posting it so that we can all share what it is like to be in Ghana and see them score.
Other spin-off coverage is the rise of the montage-to-music genre of football imagery to make a point. This excellent by a S Korea fan of their trouncing by Switzerland is a case in point....though because it is composed of copyright images you will have to to it rather than running it on this site...
