World Cup Nonsense

[Sweder]

And how can Sven be "300% certain" that Rooney will play???

In fairness to Mr Burns - sorry, Eriksson - the '300%' remark was attributed to Rooney himself, as in
Well, err, Wayne tells me he is 300% sure he will play. Pass the abacus, I err have just sold my ten millionth Playstation game . . .

I'm getting my Swede-bashing in early.
The overpaid (expletive deleted) might just go and win the blasted thing after all . . . imagine that, if you can. Some people just drift through life letting the plaudits and riches fall at their feet . . . good job I'm not bitter really

Fantasy World Cup.
I've entered the Times and the Telegraph leagues. I'll happily enter Marathondan's league, too. I'll have to dig out his link . . .

Ok, signed up, but 'run time errors' abound so can't joing the Friends League yet. Also Po Faced C4 won't let you have a silly manager's moniker so when you eneter 'First name' and 'Surname' that's the name your team manager will get. Harumph.

Thursday morning: much better! Managed to log on and joing Dan's league on the C4 site. I'm now a 'pending' manager along with Peter Ward. Come on RCers, it's fun, it's free. Here's the link again. The access code for Dan's league is 4792

The Roonster is on his way back to Baaden Baaden (I wonder if they have a lot of sheep there?) so it looks like Andy's bet, like the Wonderkid himself, still has legs. Unlike poor Djibril Cisse. Sounds like an awful injury (tonight for France against China), much like the one he suffered for Liverpool two years ago. 'Multiple fractures just above the ankle'. Ouch. It's the other leg . . . must have dodgy bones. It's a great shame; with him in the squad the French had a better than even chance of 'doing a Holland' and having a proper public punch-up. Still, the promising news is it looks like Nicholas Anelka might take his place . . .
