Default Interesting article

An article not about Rooney's foot or Crouch's dancing, but looking at some of the impacts the FifaBudCup is having on Germany.

Default Re: Interesting article

seems the best thread to add this to i suppose.

helps me with confidence in my Total Goals buy.

------------------------


England goalkeeper Paul Robinson has criticised the unpredictable nature of the new World Cup match ball.
The Tottenham stopper, 26, has been practising with the lighter ball in England training ahead of Saturday's Group B opener against Paraguay.

And he warns the balls will give strikers the upper hand in Germany as they are "very goalkeeper unfriendly".

Robinson said: "It's more like a water-polo or volleyball. It's very light and moves so much in the air."

I was just about to post exactly the same thing, Keyser. I was deciding which thread to put it in!

It might affect the percentage of shots on target that make it into the net, but surely it will also decrease the proportion of shots that are actually on target?

For a more obscure angle, I'm going to buy shares in whichever company produces the blooper video.

Hi,

the Togo manager:

"Environment in the team is bad, very bad. The players bitter, are not motivated, during three days, they did not want to training"

"They struck and do you believe capacity to make a success of the World cup under these conditions ?"


the "to qualify" odds is at 7.2 at this time. I lay them.

I don't trust Korea but I trust Switzerland enough to take the 4/6.
