1.It won’t be the same without me
After the Swedes were knocked out of qualification for the World Cup, their talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic, went on to state that the mundial would not be the same without him. We will definitely miss his magic wand and incredible skills in Brazil. Adios amigos.
2. He scores hat-tricks when he wants
Cristiano Ronaldo scored yet another hat-trick, as he singlehandedly propelled Portugal to the World Cup finals in Brazil. We expected it and he delivered on the promise. He is making it all the more difficult to decide this year’s Ballon D’or.
3. Paper lions made in England
The Three Lions suffered back-to-back defeats against Chile and then Germany at the Wembley Stadium, conceding three and failing to find the net in both encounters. This English team looks like the worst I have seen in recent years. They lack spirit and appetite for success. They are nothing but paper lions, but I am guessing we didn’t just find that out.
4. North all West in Africa
With Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Cameroun all confirming their places in Brazil for next year’s World Cup, and with Burnika Faso holding a slender lead going into the second leg, one could be forgiven for thinking the only cardinal point in African football was West. At the end of proceeding in Algiers though, the Desert Foxes ensured that it was not to be an all-West African affair in Brazil next year.
5. Gibraltar is rock solid
In what was the first international friendly in the history of the little troubled island, many expected Slovakia to tear them to bits and pieces, but they stood strong like the proverbial Rock of Gibraltar, to deny the Slovaks any joy in front of goal. Goalless it ended after 90 minutes.
6. Did we leave anything out?
I certainly hope so. Come on people, I can’t dish it all out at once. Bye for now.
