Espana Poor Favour

When you nutmeg Pique and no one knows your name!

With the exception of Diego Costa's magnificent strike, this was undoubtedly the best piece of skill on show throughout the three match borefest yesterday. The Iranian midfielder is Vahid Amiri and if I was a six year old watching the World Cup for the first time, I would remember his name forever, but because I am more mature, I will have forgotten his name by lunchtime. Dara Nolan will remind me of his nomenclature before the next Iran game when the player is presented with his personalised Persian flying carpet and the freedom of Tehran. Note the mutual exclusivity of the last statement!


No change at the top of the league as most folk had wins for the fancied teams but very few had 1-0. No change at the bottom either, where Archie Devlin vainly hopes that one day he will get a correct score.

Today's games could provide a veritable plethora of goals or maybe the first no score draw of the tournament that we have all been waiting for. Hold your breath!
