It’s testament to Michael Owen’s unassuming personality that as he crumbled to the ground in agony with his World Cup dreams fading around him, he still managed to crawl his way off the pitch in Cologne so as not to have the match between England and Sweden stopped.
When we see too many players continue to [...]
While the quality has been up and down for most of the countries involved in the 2006 World Cup so far there have been some stand out performances from individuals in the early group stages and before we get down to the nitty gritty of the knockout stages I think we should flag them up:
1) [...]
Thanks to Ahmed over at Soccerlens for compiling this list even though it makes for pretty brutal reading for a Spurs fan like myself.
He’s put together a list of the top scoring clubs by number of goals scored by their players so far in Germany and Englsih sides happen to figure pretty highly. Unfortunately the [...]
Well it is for two of the blokes at b5media anyway as they’ve managed to talk each other into a little wager on the outcome of the game.
It’s a real battle of the b5media behemoths too as Duncan Riley, one of b5’s founders and a hardcore Aussie, is defending his honour against our Sports Channel [...]
With all of the talk of groups of death in this World Cup I’m glad that one of them is finally living up to it’s pre-tournament reputation and taking qualification right down to the wire.
Group E, containing the Czech Republic, Ghana, Italy and the USA, always looked like a tasty one with the two European [...]
That would be me (amongst others obviously). So the unbelievable has happened and both Argentina and Holland have strutted their way out of “group of death” Group C already and can afford to go a little easier on each other in the last game on the 21st June in Frankfurt.
Argentina have looked immense, especially against [...]
Another lacklustre performance by Sven’s boys that was improved only by the second half introduction of Wayne Rooney in his first game for six weeks since breaking his foot (I’m still bored of the word metatarsal).
The eventual 2-0 win with goals from Peter Crouch (how many chances does this boy need to actually finds the [...]
I know I’ve been pretty down on Ronaldo recently and I will be again today but it’s only because I know how great a player he can be and it pains me to watch him masquerading as a Brazilian international these days.
News-wise, he’s back in training today after being taken to hospital suffering from headaches [...]
It has literally pained me, as a football fan, to write that headline. Having followed his career from Cruzeiro to Europe and the heady heights of four World Cup finals, I’ve seen a footballer with as much natural talent as any other I’ve witnessed and now see that talent being wasted in what seems a [...]
Humbled but not completely humiliated (although they weren’t far off it) would be the best description of the USA’s opening game in Group E as the Czech Republic rolled back the years to trounce them 3-0 and leave the US still without a World Cup win on European soil.
The cocksure bravado was well and truly [...]
