All 8, some more attentively than others. I've thoroughly enjoyed them all and think the tournament has been an outstanding spectacle so far.

Just England and Mexico for me.

I fell asleep at halftime of the England game and didn't wake up till 10 mins into the second half and everyone left me snoozing on the floor. (I wasn't in a pub thankfully).

you missed michael owen's most influential contribution to the game - coming off

I know...

You know when you've woken up and you're all groggy and I said, what's happened??

And about 10 people shouted NOTHING!

I'm looking forward to that game.

Does BBC only show the games they have online?

I've seen seven so far. Only missed Sweden vs T&T.
The uni's showing every match on the big screen.

I'm going to have miss Australia- Japan though.

And I'll have to run from my last exam to make England-T&T.

seen some of all of them, though my recollection of some of saturday's later games is a bit fuzzy.

I've seen at least half of all 8.

I missed the second half in the Ecuador v Poland and Angola v Portugal games.

Just the four for me. As others have said, the England game was possibly the worst I've watched.

I'm just settling in for Australia - Japan to make it 5.

FaninOz · Post by **FaninOz** » Mon Jun 12, 2006 12:56 pm

Seen 6 live and Arg v Ivory Coast recorded, but missed Angola v Portugal.

Looking forward to Aussie v Japan tonight.

national team and nakata thrown in for good measure, quality!

Italy Ghana could be a good one too

Caught 5 so far. Was bored to tears by a few. The Mexico game was a bit of quality though. Shame about Borgetti coming off.

7 for me, missed Holland v S&M.

Working from home was created with the World Cup in mind.

Overall quality has been awesome.

T&T hanging on to draw with Sweden, and Australia scroring 3 goals in the last 5 minutes highlights for me.
