Das Wembley Tor

I really must try and make this my last football post for a while. I need to move on! Nevertheless, the 38th minute goal that was incorrectly not allowed will be known to just about every single person on the planet by now in the England Germany last 16 World

Unsung Heroes

Another football-related musing. Sorry. I’m still hurting. Holding midfielders. The talk of the tournament as Brazil’s coach Dunga deploys two of them. Amazingly devastatingly effective, they even provide huge attacking impetus. Former England internationals on pundit duty in S Africa, John Barnes and Gary Mabbutt, couldn’t stop

Deploying Your Schemer

I’m trying to move on from England’s disastrous World Cup. Please bear with me during this difficult time. Still stuck in the half-Nelson of despair, I was yesterday discussing formations and flexibility. The second time England were ever humiliated was a double thrashing at the hands of Hungary.

In 10 Seconds; Go!

Arh, Kylie [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kylie_Minogue]. Kylie, Kylie, Kylie.

Team Coming Together

Not one given to spending time with American sport, I was intrigued to see basketballer Kobe Bryant enthuse about football during a CNN interview in S Africa at the World Cup. An avid AC Milan fan, he also played in goal as a lad. He’s just won a fifth

Whitehall Spending Challenge

Here’s a pair of facts presently emblazoned across screens in the UK’s aftermath of the new (coalition) Government’s emergency budget: > £952 Billion – total current debt £155 Billion – current deficit The figures are of eye-watering worry. Britain owes almost One Trillion pounds Sterling. Staggeringly, that’s over

Enjoyment?

One word for today; > Enjoyment Yesterday saw England comfortably put Australia to the sword. Building on their awesome championship winning Twenty20 World Cup campaign, they put to bed the utter shambles that was last year’s belittling at the hands of the old foe in the 50-over form. As
