Don't I ramble? I also notice I write so fast I make the odd spelling error, sorry. Anyway onwards. Great to see Spain doing well last night, Villa's goal when the keeper legged it out to interfere must serve as a warning to our very own keeper James who has a tendency to leave himself and his defenders stranded with tactics like that. Still if we stop passing back it just might stop him thinking about it. Spain v Portugal is a tasty game, I fully expect Brazil to go through against Chile and tonight I think the Americans will meet their match in Ghana who are well capable of beating them but it will be a close game. As for Uruguay v S. Korea the South Americans will probably be good enough this afternoon but it is a possible upset, I doubt it though. As far as England are concerned still the media are peddling rumours that John Terry wasn't alone and many players backed down at the last minute. It may be so that they don't like the regime or the manager but he is paid to do his job they should do theirs and stop whining about their treatment. If they want a reality check go see some of the townships around their 5 star accommodation then tell me they have it tough. They earn more in a week than I've earned in the last five years and they think the average football fan gives a tinkers cuss about them having to eat certain foods, not use their phones at the dinner table and behave with dignity. The other day I heard Lamps or Gerrard saying that it can be boring around the hotel in between training sessions, son, you and your team mates don't know the meaning of the word nor the meaning of the phrase 'life of Riley'. Shall I tell you something that really amazed me? When I visited the Berneabeu Stadium, Real Madrid's home you get to sit on the seats in the dugout. There's a laugh more like a hotel lobby than a dugout and the kicker is the seats they all sit on during the game are very comfortable and heated. So I think England have the ability to totally thrash the German team so long as they get on with the game and attack - where is Kevin Keegan when you need him?
