Mullet Watch Explodes

God bless Eastern Europe - the last bastion of mulletdom. Phill was right about Group C - Serbia and Montenegro's number 6 boasted the most out and out mullet in the tournament so far, and a few more in the side had the mini-mullet - that little teasing bit of length at the back that, to use a football metaphor, come under the heading of "I've seen them given" (as a mullet, rather than a penalty, obviously).

Mourinho must be loving the group of death - 3 out of the 4 goals scored in that group so far have been scored by Chelski players, and Robben was absolutely outstanding today - a little more unselfishness (should that be a little less selfishness?!) and he would be even better. Holland will no doubt be absolutely delighted with that 3 points - all 4 teams in this group look very solid and I'm looking forward to the next round of fixtures in that group even more than Mexico vs Iran in a hour...

p.s. More good refeering today - as Lineker has just pointed out, great to see a player getting booked for waving an imaginary card around...
