If I scored an own goal this spectacular…

…I think I'd have to celebrate it.

Last week

Gents

Where do I start. Last week was the most embarrassed I've ever felt being the captain of the team and I don't make that statement lightly. I'm supposed to pick the squad based on form fitness and commitment, well we might need a few ringers after last week. By commitment I don't just mean the hard tackles and the occasional shout I mean the countless times we swung a lazy leg at a misplaced pass or the countless times we left one of our Own players surrounded with no one to pass the ball to. At the back especial the first half we where a shambles I don't remember a tackle on there striker he was allowed to turn again and again. The midfield offered no help to the back four or the forwards and we allowed them to just walk towards our goal with ball way to many times.Upfront we where flat footed and I asked for there defence to be pressurised which didn't happen. There was a slight improvement in the second half but the damage was done and when the oppo offers us there keeper so their star player can go in goal and give us a chance only shows how bad we really where. Some of you may think I'm going overboard but I think this needs to be said. We may aswell scrap the 3 touch rule as those who do stick to it we only seem to be able to play the ball backwards until we either get tackled or boot it out of play, but much worse there are still players who cannot get this rule and those who when asked to play in a certain position seem to think they know better than me and go where they like!! Well gents why not put your name in the hat for captain then you can put yourself wherever you want but until then if this happens again you will be immediately substituted and don't be surprised if you miss the next week. The only saving grace is that we play Monday night so not long to get this out of our systems.

I hope we can take this on board and get going again ASAP

World Cup Final Preview

Thomas Muller's celebration if he scores the winner?  I look forward to replicating these moves on the dancefloors of Rotterdam and London this September and October…

Pretty sure he meant it

"Sweeper-keeper"

Here's Germany keeper Manuel Neuer's heat map for last night's game vs Algeria.  21 touches outside the box!  Incredible.
