Kayoko girls do not sweat they perspire...


A first half goal from Defoe took England from world cup failures to booking a place in the final sixteen, the strike from close range after 20 or so minutes put the misery of poor performances against USA and Algeria behind them as The Three Lions found their feet or should I say paws and delighted with a solid performance, the sight of John Terry throwing his body in front of the ball as Dedic was about to put England?s lights out was particularly heroic especially after Terry?s controversial comments about Capelllo?s management style and team selection, the only disappointment in England's display was not to finish off Slovenia more convincingly, but this was all forgotten as the desire, lightening quick passing came back into England?s game that produced lots of opportunities, always harassing Slovenia for a decisive second goal, it was a joy to see England in a celebratory huddle in the centre circle after the final whistle ,it went from apologies to forgiveness for Rooney?s ranting at fans ?disloyalty? and hearing those same England supporters chanting and singing his name with pride, ironically to be subsisted to make way for Joe Cole....


A harsh and incorrect off side call denied Clint Dempsey a goal in the first half that left the USA on the brink of leaving the competition, Algeria showed determination and perseverance in their build up play, only for most of their attacks to descend into impotency on the edge of the penalty area.

The second half started on a familiar vein with the USA always taking the initiative and again it was Dempsey who should have hit the target, a neat pass from Altidore; saw his effort hit the post, and his second knocked wide, Bob Bradley then brought on strikers, Edson Buddle and Benny Feilhaber...it all looked as if the Americans had run out of time , but as the clocked ticked away into extra time, Altidore moved clear down the right wing and crossed to Dempsey, whose first shot was deflected away by the goalkeeper only for the dead ball to roll into the path of Landon Donovan who blasted it in to send the US fans bonkers and top of group C above England...

Last night?s Germany victory against Ghana sets up a last sixteen clash with none other than the old enemy England on Sunday in Bloemfontein, and Franz Beckenbigmouth has wasted no time in having another dig at England ...The Kaiser "Stupidly, the English have slipped up a little by finishing second in their group, the English look a little tired?....
The Kaiser goes on, ?They are burnt out, we respect them but we certainly don't fear them, England's first two appearances at the World Cup were paltry, but they improved against Slovenia, the Premier League players have got to play far more games than their Bundesliga colleagues, including two national cup competitions?. Beckenbauer talking to a German newspaper Bild continued "Therefore, when it comes to a World Cup or a European Championships, they are burnt out, our players, on the other hand, seem to be in a physically better condition." .......Suck it up Franz ...

Rumour has it that Arsene Wenger took Japanese manager Okada out for dinner in London some few months ago Wenger told Okada 'if you get out of this group, they will have to build a statue of you in the middle of Tokyo' ...well start chiselling because, Japan are on the verge of making history. Japan only need a draw against Denmark at Bafokeng Stadium this evening for the Blue Samurai to make last sixteen for the first time on foreign soil, an astonishing achievement.
