Last Wednesday was a buffet of soccerplayery, with several countries punching their ticket to South Africa. Here are a few headlines from around the world…
England dominated Croatia 5-1 and guaranteed a first round appearance on the dark continent. Capello also revealed to the Guardian his gameplan for South Africa – WAGs can see their boys for one day after each match. He declined to comment on mothers and mistresses.
Spain sputtered but ultimately defeated Estonia 3-0 to secure a spot at South Africa. El Pais hit the nail on the head, pointing out that the right side of the Spanish attack failed miserably. If Arbeloa was bad three days ago, Raul Albiol failed to make a case to supplant him. Luckily, Spain has 10 other World Class players to compensate.
Paraguay qualified and Ultima Hora rejoiced. Meanwhile, Argentina appears headed for an extended vacation next summer. Clarin assessed Maradonna, in-between sobs, accusations, and punching holes in a wall. Only one word can describe Diego´s managerial style – Domenechesque.
Portugal kept the dream alive with a narrow one-nil victory. Ronaldo reported to A Bola, sometimes you have to play ugly. But all the time, Ronnie? France likewise treaded water in a tense 1-1 draw. Raymond Domenech continued to live in his own universe, telling L´equipe that he was happy with his team´s spirit. How about a win?
