PodolskiSchweinsteiger1 300x180 Germany V Australia Live Thoughts
Back once again for Sunday’s late game which see’s the German side look to have another good World Cup campaign,  but Australia stand in their way and have enough quality to get the win. I do write these live and spell check when I have a chance, but you may have to excuse some of my spelling and punctuation today as I appear to be suffering from a hangover, after a Saturday night I can barely remember. I certainly don’t remember England’s goal, as thanks to ITV half the country missed it. As ever, comments are welcome and you can follow me on twitter @clusks. Have to get that plug in there:
- The media in England today are all focusing on Rob Green, instead of considering that we got a point against our hardest group opponent, disgraceful really but the sad thing is that loads of people in England buy into this. I’ve also seen a lot of people criticize Emile Heskey, despite the fact he was a goal threat unlike the anonymous Rooney and got us an assist. But of course – he’s just a donkey isn’t he? He didn’t score therefore a rubbish performance! I’m hoping that Rob Green isn’t the scapegoat for England if they go out the World Cup.
- ITV have Edgar Davids, Kevin Keegan and Patrick Viera in the studio. Edgar Davids has the world’s biggest glasses on, he looks a bit like Harry Potter, or if anyone has seen The Wire, he looks like that guy that comes along called Brother something (if anyone can tell me his name please do so!). I didn’t know this, but John Travolta has been hanging about with the Australia team – nobody is quite sure why, but he has a terrible touch of the ball. I’d keep it on the hush Australia.
- Just seen Marcel Desailly’s celebration to Ghana’s goal – he just started shouting out about things like chickens and goats, he was loving it though. North Korea are a bizarre team, on the first day ITV showed them training in a local gym with regular people in at the same time, and now we’ve seen them perform some strange training routine where they all stand in a line while one performs a diving header on the floor through everybody’s legs. Then one player got hit in the lower region. I can’t wait to see them play, did you know Kim Jong Il has refused for the tournament to be broadcast in North Korea unless the team win the cup. What a shame, someone might tell them that they’ve won before they’ve seen it.
- Key man: Well ITV have done very little actual analysis of the game, but that won’t stop me as the national anthems are belted out (I love Germany’s!). Klose is a danger man, but I’ve took a shine to Ozil this season and he looks like a great player in this youthful Germany squad. Tim Cahill starts as a centre forward and it will be interesting to see how that works, as he loves to score from deep as opposed to playing up top.
