An occasional column dedicated to those games I watch on TV.


Owen heads the winner


I was in Chambery at the weekend staying with English and Scottish mates. We got watching the second half of the Argentina - England game. What a match. What a finish. I thought England had played average up till that point, lots of stray passes, no movement, bereft of ideas, the only real spark coming as usual from Rooney. But then Crouch came on and ruffled a few feathers, and up popped Owen with 2 great headers. England shouldn't get carried away, the old faults are still there, and I think without Rooney, they're average. But it'll boost their confidence.



Nice kits

France 0 Germany 0

Terrible match, and *whisper it* I thought the Germans played well. France were poor, again, without ZZ, they have no variety and nothing to offer. Germany were competitive, committed, the usual teutonic qualities. Ballack's still a cnut though.
