Deservedly so, imo. They were the outstanding performers of the tournament but Ivory Coast got their tactics spot on as well as a bit of luck in the shoot out.

Alright a different angle to this, what was the craziest thing you had to miss to watch Chelsea? Personally, probably my cousin's wedding.

I feel bad for...for Didier! Seriously, the number of times they chocked in big games when he was with the NT....

Get well soon, mate. Let us know when the tests come out (if you want to, of course).

Who did you talk to to make it happen?

Miss entirely? Like not even follow on Twitter? Don't think that has ever happened. Miss watching? Usually due to lack of coverage combined with shitty internet connection.

Unlucky not to win it for Ghana in normal time. Overall I think he's done well so far. It seems to me he has grown into this tournament after needing some time recover form.

Need him to get back to that November-early December form. Not that he's been particularly bad in recent weeks, but he's capable of so much more. Him giving the ball away cheaply is getting particularly frustrating.

PS: I take back what I've said before about liking angry Jose because he's funny, quietly happy Jose is sooo cute! http://youtu.be/N27MxBd2Fak

That's what I meant: You ALL can't vote because I couldn't watch the match properly, duh!

Surprised to see him mentioned for MOTM. The goal was pretty awesome, but even though I couldn't watch the match properly, I could see he was out of position a few times and he completely lost Okore for the goal, he didn't even know where he is.

Has be won Ballon D'Or yet?

Can't vote MOTM because I had to stream the match on iPad using mobile internet. So, basically I just saw a few snapshots of the match. Actually missed all 3 goals and had to see vines of them afterwards.

I did! And I got half the forum telling me I'm being silly and that they would not miss Toure (who almost always scores for them against smaller teams). That's why I was probably more happy with City's draw than our win!

I don't know why but I had a feeling Hull will get a point. City often have motivational issue against teams like Hull.

Screw the win and 3 points, where are all the people that insisted that it was impossible for Hull to get something from City??! :D

Is that you, Henrique?!

I think everyone is too scared to write anything about Jose atm.

I think you've learned your lesson @OneMoSalah, want me to change yours back too?

Cesc being available is a huge boost. They are going to put half of Birmingham behind the ball and his eye for the killer pass could be decisive.

Showing with Ghana what we saw he can do at Vitesse. No idea why he just doesn't perform for Everton. Need to pick his loan more carefully next season.

Done, but I'm never changing it back or to anything else

True, but I was hoping that this year would be different since they probably had the best team on paper.

Oops, meant Luis.

Azpi against Liverpool and missed City as a result. Willian against City and hasn't trained. Can only assume Mikel got a concussion against Bradford and that's why he was still out against City. I expect Azpi and Mikel to be back, but you never know. Wait for Jose's confirmation.
