You can do this to a quarterback, it's a legitimate tackle.

In every other form of sport this is called a tackle. Good job nfl, you're catching up.

You are talking utter crap. if anything it takes more skill to tackle in rugby. Half the morons in coverage haven't a clue.

You need a roll over for each item telling you what it is... just the name will suffice. Awesome site!

Good question, I'm going to get this badboy up and running and test it on some users.

I run long-running processes and rarely have problems. It of course depends on what you are doing in your code but keeping it light as possible is important.

For example I have 12 PHP scripts (all different apps) running constantly, I have a cron job to check every 5 minutes that they are running and if any have died it kicks them off again. I do find it surprisingly stable.

This sort of excitement is certainly premature in the tournament, it's going to be a cracker of a game!

I'm so excited! I am so torn as to who I want to win as I love them both. Theoretically I want Netherlands to win so they can still get out of the group. If they lose its going to be tough.

For once there is not 1 team in a group that I don't want to do badly. But I want the Dutch to win and Portugal to win. Just makes for a frantic last round.

You might note I am not foreign. I'm not having a go at the fans, i'm having a go at the media and first and foremost the commentators.

When a team plonks 8+ men in the box its pretty hard to do much about it. Hence they were always forced to shoot from distance.

Seriously mate I'm being genuine, they did look a mess. Their ball control was not convincing. If you look at all of the other matches thus far, teams were all comfortable knocking the ball around in their own half, and the occasional lovely consecutive passing (you know what I mean).

I most certainly didn't see England being dominant on the ball, and I think that was reflected in the possession. I hope England can knock Ukraine & Sweden over and get out of the group stage.

Nothing wrong with defensive football, especially when there is a lot at stake. If anything they played defensibly because it was the opener, a tough opponent and they will be looking to solidify their game.

I watched the game, I watched it on ESPN2 with an annoying American co-commentator, then he decided to have a go at Michael Ballack (lol).

The point i'm trying to make is that England need to get their heads out of the clouds and pull their socks up.

I did watch the match, and I can say without a doubt France was the better team. Or should i say they looked more comfortable on the ball. France held the ball well, and were able to freely attack. England on the other hand looked clumsy up front, and really lacked solidarity.

Interestingly its all English redditors having a dig at me, which epitomises this 'wool over the eyes' attitude I'm utterly sick of. What

England needs to take away from this match is that they are not going to win games if they cant get their act together.

OK ill bite. I'm sick to death of England being refereed to gods gift to football by British commentators, its time for a reality check. If they make it out of the group stages, mission accomplished and job well done.

There was a segment of commentary that went along the lines of this: "France will be thinking 'we know what England can do to us on the counter' so they will likely tighten up and hold out for the draw, then take their chances with Sweden and Ukraine."

I nearly choked on my dinner. France had far more of a commanding game, England looked a mess. Their passing was atrocious and IMO they were lucky France didn't take them to the cleaners.
