So well written. I LOL'd at least twice and I like Ronaldo.
"There are, however, other athletes out there, and not just in soccer, whose talent and ability to dominate a game equals Cristiano Ronaldo's, but no one quite so fully embraces the role of the classic villain quite so much as he does, and that side of him was also readily apparent yesterday. He carries himself in a way that suggests that he fully believes that there is no one anywhere -- not just on the pitch, not just in soccer, but anywhere -- who is as Cristiano Ronaldo as he is. He preens. He peacocks. When he stands still, a hip is always cocked to one side.
When he is not near the ball, he will jog with all the urgency of a man crossing a city street just as the light has begun to blink. When an opponent has deigned to knock him to the ground, and a foul has not been called, he will lie there, lounging, for 30 seconds or more, as if to make sure that everyone sees what someone has just done to Cristiano Ronaldo. When a teammate fails to score after receiving one of his brilliant and perfectly positioned passes -- as happened at least twice Monday -- he looks to the sky and rolls his eyes, because, of course, Cristiano Ronaldo would have scored if only Cristiano Ronaldo could have passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo."

ok...the worst group starts in 22 mins...
my predictions
-Slovenia/England draw (although Slovania's the only one to actually win a match so far in this group)
-USA beats Algeria |

1, 2, 3 Viva L’Algerie!!!
Algeria needs to win by a two goal margin. Winning by one goal margin will leave Algeria dependant on the England – Slovenia result. |

Shaky Shaky England, but they got the three points and get outta the group....
Rooney is a shadow of his former self, I don't know if its down to fitness or Capello just not utilizing him properly, but he's been so far from his best this tournament...an in form Rooney is a scary thought...
Big afternoon coming up...
I have a feeling its Germany - England in the first elimination round, which I'm pretty happy for based on current English form....
Prediction:
Germany 3 - 0 Ghana |

England played good for about 20 minutes of the game....the rest of the game looked very shaky for them.
Rooney definitely isn't his old self....I don't think he's scored yet....but I still think he will find a way to net one in the next game...which may be all they need to move on. |
