BIG M.C. FRIES TOGO

Czech Republic 1 Togo 0 (aet)

This was not a match for the purists, but at the end of 120 minutes of attritional football a headed Czech goal broke Togolese hearts and put the Czechs through to next week's semi-final against Iran. [livejournal.com profile] stevem78's team had defended stoutly when called upon but looked a pale shadow of the team that had battled through the earlier rounds. In truth neither side had created many chances during the 90 minutes: this sparsely-attended game was more suited to the group stages than to pop's premier tournament.


"It's got a good beat"

The Czechs meanwhile continue their remarkable run and are now one game away from their first appearance in a Pop World Cup final. [livejournal.com profile] mostlyconnect was in tears as his big frontman's header found the net, and its his limitless reserves of belief that the young team will hope to draw on in the semis.
