Fifa are investigating North Korean abuse claims

Radio Free Asia are claiming that the North Korean football team were subjected to 6 hours of abuse from Government officials and then sentenced to ‘hard labour’ for the teams ‘poor’ showing at the World Cup.

I find it disgusting that English players like Ashley Cole moan about the way they’re treated here (yes, it must be really hard earning £180,000 a week) when the poor North Korean players have to endure REAL physical and mental torture.

The England team should think themselves lucky…all they have to put up with are boos from the fans and poorly written headlines in The Sun!

Dear America.

This is a quick letter to inform you of how incorrect today’s New York Post’s headline is.

Firstly, you did NOT win yesterday’s World Cup game against us (England). It was a DRAW. How does the score 1-1 make it a win to the USA? Answer: IT DOESN’T.

Secondly, it wasn’t the greatest tie since Bunker Hill as we (England) played considerably better than you and it was only largely thanks to Tim Howard (who coincidentally plies his trade at Everton, an ENGLISH football team) and Emile Heskey’s inability to capitalise on decent chances.

Thirdly, it is not Clint Dempsey who should be credited with your equaliser, it was largely thanks to West Ham’s Rob Green’s inability to keep a clean sheet.

Finally, here’s a little piece of advice: NEVER let American film stars (who know bugger all about football) give advice or tips on the World Cup. Although to be fair, it did give us something to laugh about.

Yours Sincerely,

Disgruntled England fan.

American's know nothing about football

World Cup 2010

I’ve decided for the next month to dedicate my blog to the lovely lads currently starring in the World Cup in South Africa.

As you can see in my previous post, the delicious Joann Gourcuff is first to appear. The 24 year old attacking midfielder plays for French side Bordeaux and has been a part of the french national team since 2008. At the moment France are playing against Uruguay and to be perfectly honest…they’re not playing very well (not that I’m too bothered whether France make it to the next round or not).
