16.25 – On ANR, Myles Palmer said “England cannot beat Argentina – you can quote me on that”. Er….
Well done England – I didn’t think the performance was as good as the BBC seemed to think, but it was impressive nonetheless. Did the second half remind anyone of George Graham’s Arsenal?
The 3 Gunners on display all played very well, Rio Ferdinand had the best game I’ve ever seen him play and overall it was an excellent display in terms of commitment and desire. I have to give a mention now to David Beckham who scored the penalty to make it 1-0.
After the disgraceful way he was treated 4 years ago, for him to come through all the taunts, the accusations, the threats, and all the other ridiculous behaviour towards him was nice to see. People totally lost sight of the fact that all he did was get sent off in a football match. He’s shown his character on the pitch, and club loyalties aside, he deserves all the praise he gets in my opinion.
Of course, it all could have been different after France 98 if England’s cowardly and selfish manager had just said a couple of words of support – a la Tony Adams – rather than letting a young lad take the blame for England’s exit from the tournament. So thank you David Beckham for sticking it right up Glenn Hoddle’s arse.
England just need a draw against the Nigerians – who got beaten 2-1 by Freddieland today. Freddie set up Sweden’s first with a lovely ball to Larrsson and got involved in a bit of push and shove with Kanu at one stage.
Something for the weekend?
Make your own South Park character here, and read about the Moscow underground here – and I don’t mean trains.
