3 Days To Go

Who do you think you are kidding Snr. Hierro?

Some folk seem to have forgotten that yesterday's big match was in fact a derby. For centuries, Moors invaded Spain and the Spanish reciprocated by occupying parts of North Africa, and still do. It was Franco and his Army of Africa (Moroccan militia) who invaded Spain in 1936 and overthrew the elected Republican government. Seldom, are there rivalries as intense in world football and most of us witnessed this in colour with the BBC ignoring the history. The Moors played above themselves and the Spanish were a little complacent was the excuse. Well I say "Bollocks to that". This was a field of battle. There were more yellow cards than any other match to date and there could have been more. The score indicates a draw, but the real winners were the Moorish fighters to a man. Will we get another game like it? I would suggest not, unless we get Serbia v Croatia in a later stage.


The unexpected results were not predicted and consequently yesterday was a low scoring day. No changes at the top where it is quite congested.

Will Argentina be on the plane home today? Dara is the only one who has Nigeria to win that game. I think he might be on to something.
