World Cup review

I won't say "I told you so" but Ericksson's squad selection was bizarre to say the least.....and right from the start we wondered where the goals were going to come from with 2 unfit strikers,a plank o' wood and Foetus Walcott who actually had less outfield experience in the Prem than City's own Calamity James (played 10 mins up front at the end of the 04-05 season in Psycho's secret plan that nearly came off ).

The good

• a great and exciting final - with lots of talking points
• Argentina's exciting brand of football
• Germany finally playing attacking football under Grinsy Klinnsi
• Ghana v Czech Republic ....Ghana 2 up and going for a 3rd as if their lives depended on it,creating a schoolyard-type of "everybody up/everybody back" -nah I can't I'm knackered- open game of football that you NEVER see these days.
• Toronto mad -fer-it better than ever - see this link to see how TO is the best place on earth to experience the WCif you can't be there http://www.worldcuptoronto.blogspot.com/

The bad

• England England England
• Brazil -what a disappointment.
• losing on f#####g penalties AGAIN
• refereeing tho you have to blame Septic Bladder and his overfed cronies for the directives
• the general lack of wexcitement in the knockout stages.This was the only WC I can recall where the group stages were better than the knockout.

The ugly

• The cynical diving cheating mean-spirited attitude displayed by so many(including Terry 'enry)but especially the Portugese.
• Zidane tarnishing his legacy to millions of kids by that headbutt,tho he is coming thru it with class and good grace.
• Wayne Rooney....well you can't dispute THAT !
