I think it is fantastic.

I think it is fantastic.

Really? I think they play some of the dullest football going.

They were fantastic tonight. Didn't stop, didn't give up, hit the woodwork 3 times and had numerous opportunities throughout the 90 minutes. They would have beaten England tonight.

Plus it will piss off Blatter that they got through and that has to be a good thing.

They played well earlier. Not usually very easy on the eye, granted. I can see them getting to the last eight. They certainly don't lack character.
