Suerez...is that Uruguyan for "miserable tw@"

You would certainly think so judging by this picture taken outside Mansfield Town FC's ground today.
Feel so sorry for the little lad. Not because of Mr Seurez(s!) total ignorance...but because the kid actually looks up with wonder and respect to his heros...shame Seurez doesn't give a toss about his fans in the same way :-/.

PRAT!

Holland beat Uruguay 3-2 in World Cup Semi Finals!

.

Alright, so I am being a bit premature with my headline, but hey,positive thinking and all that :-). Lets just hope that the Dutch,unbeaten in 24 games now, give the Uruguay team a bloody good thrashing and avenge (is that too strong a word?) the awful travesty of their win over Ghana.

Anyway, I am going to go and stock up on beer and crisps, find an orange t-shirt and then enjoy watching what I am sure will be yet another display of Dutch courage :-)

Go,go Orange Army!

....wonder if i should have a flutter with the bookies on my predicted scoreline ?

Enjoy :-)

Luis Suarez claims "The hand of god" title is now his!

.

.

Last night I watched probably one of the best football matches of the World Cup Tournament that has been played so far, Ghana V's Uruguay.

I must admit though to feeling very sorry for Ghana's team when, after a fantastic and spirited display of footballing skill, they lost to Uruguay on penalties.

I know that "the beautiful game" is sadly marred by numerous bad decisions,and to some degree I guess that we have all come to expect the occasional cock up, but the way in which the "system" allowed Luis Suarez of the Uruguay team to blatantly prevent a goal by a deliberate handball, then,instead of allowing the goal (which was 100% guaranteed if not for the players hand !),they had to take a penalty....and Gyan hit the crossbar!.Don't dwell on it Gyan, it can happen to the best!.

After Uruguay's win Suarez was reportedly heard bragging that Maradona's 1986 "Hand of god" title was now his!......not a good advertisement for "fair play" in FIFA's world.

OK, so Ghana lost, but may I just say to the players,( if you happen to read this blog), that you DESERVED to win based on your passion, excellent playing skills and dedication. And Uruguay, you won in a very low and underhand manner, don't think for one minute that you should be proud of your achievement!.

The good news of course is that Uruguay now have to play Holland, and that match they will NOT WIN unless of course Uruguay decide to cheat and field a second "back up" goalie again!.
