Well, Argetina v Holland wasn’t the game we’d hoped it would be. Quite frankly watching old people talk about how things were better back in their day would have been more exciting than the 0-0 snoozefest we got.
The Ivory Coast game would have been much more fun as they came from 2-0 down to beat Serbia and Montenegro 3-2. An Argentinian goal would have won my bet too so I’m very upset with them, so I am. In fact I think I will go to a Uruguayan restaurant this weekend just to teach them a lesson.
In the other games yesterday Angolo drew 1-1 with Iran meaning Portugal and Mexico qualify from that group.
Today Arsenal interest centres on the Italy v Czech Republic game in what is a very open group. All 4 teams can still qualify and with the USA playing Ghana it could be a very interesting afternoon’s football. Later on Gilberto could feature for an already qualified Brazil as they play Japan while a win for Australia against Croatia will see them qualify for the knock-out stages.
Friday is France v Togo and Emmanuel Adebayor says he won’t be doing his friend Thierry Henry any favours while Patrick Vieira turns 30 on the same day and wants some goals from his former Arsenal colleague as a present.
Freddie Ljungberg says Sweden showed England too much respect and that England are lucky to be playing Ecuador in the next round.
More horseshit from Spain as the candidates for the Real Madrid presidency spin their yarns to try and get elected. Juan Miguel Villar Mir is claiming that should he be elected that Arsene Wenger has already agreed a 4 year deal to manage the club and also that David Dein acted like a ‘hyena’ when Wenger told him.
Arsene Wenger said yesterday:
I do not know if someone has spoken with the club, but with me nothing has been agreed. It is not true.
Like any politician the Real Madrid candidates will promise the earth, moon and stars to get elected but their tax cuts and improvements to the health service will turn out to be little more than hot air. Expect Sam Allardyce to the be the next manager of Real Madrid.
Finally for today the winners of the dugouts book with thanks to our chums at New Holland Publishers. The question was: What do you call a man with a shovel in his head? The answer was, of course, Doug!
