Mundial Musings...

Not that you care, but...

• Torsten Frings' 40 yard rocket strike against Ecuador and Luca Toni's laser beam off the crossbar against Ghana are the highlights of the tournament.
  
• Ronaldo is fat. How can anyone once so brilliant be so lame before age 30? He'll be lucky to stay in the squad, let alone break Gerd Müller's all-time scoring record.
  
• England needs to occasionally score goals that don't come from set pieces.
  
• Mexico's form in the second half against Iran should be of concern to Portugal, who couldn't really get anything going against Angola.
• If the USA can't dramatically improve in their woeful opening game that they'll be headed home a week from tomorrow. (That concludes today's statement of the massively obvious.)
  
• Loco (Angola) should be immediately deported for his hideous hair.
• As much as I like underdogs, I hope England beats T&T 5-0 tomorrow.
• I don't mean to sound jingoistic, it wouldn't upset me to see Saudi Arabia and Iran get a couple of hidings before the end of the tournament. I've nothing at all against the players or people. But the Saudi royal family and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad shouldn't have the satisfaction.
• Ji Sung Park (Park Ji Sung?) is not too cute.
• Nor is Carlos Puyol.
• If there is ever a biopic on Terry-Thomas, then Scott Carson is really the only choice for the starring role.
