Smashing shots Michael – the weather really was superb down south today:)

Nice shots Matt:)

A very interesting colour scheme on the ATR!

If France are to progress further and get past Spain in the Last 16 phase, then I would play the same team as last night and leave out Zidane. Trezeguet & Henry make them far more threatening up front, and they could have scored 4 or 5 tines last night if Trezeguet knew where the net was!

Great photos there. I love the Turkish Airlines & Futura shots in particular.

What I’d like to know now is… Now that We mere Aussies who are ranked 42 in the world are into the Round of 16, how does this effect our world ranking, will we move up in the rank structure?

Yes, because the calculations for the world ranking is partly based on World Cup matches: http://www.fifa.com/en/mens/statistics/rank/procedures/0,2540,3,00.html

Lovely shots. I see you just caught the Lufthansa as it was lifting off – that right wheel must only be a few milimetres off the runway:)

France v Togo tonight

Shame the French haven’t got a tougher opponent because they need a win to progress and, let’s face it, one can’t see Togo pulling off one of the biggest shocks ever.
