To Say That Some Must Have Paid Thousands To See This!

The World Cup Final has been a thuggish affair, with just a couple of clear chances, that anybody on their money should have put away with ease.

Now here’s an idea. I support Ipswich and have therefor seen most of the teams in the Coca-Cola Championship.  Suppose you created a team of the league, from the best players regardless of their nationality and gave them a manager like Huddink, Hodgson or perhaps even Sven, for a one-off  game against either Spain or The Netherlands, you would have had a much more enjoyable game, probably with a deserved winner. And it wouldn’t necessarily be the better-paid team, as Championship sides don’t always lose cup matches against clubs from the Premier League.

If you think, I’m biased towards the standard in the Championship, feel free to do the exercise with the Second Division of any European League.

We would certainly see more skill and commitment and probably less fouls and bookings too!

But some people must have paid thousands to see this rubbish!

I see though that Howard Webb has just sent off a Dutch defender. So that means the match will get worse as the Dutch play for penalties.
