sven & becks
and we think our press are tough! bielsa facing
the music back in argentina, clearly in full control of his relationship
with the press
recoba hauling uruguay from 0-3 down against senegal
back to 3-3 ~ they needed one more goal but alas they never got it ~ still,
always next time
no goals but plenty of action in busan as uruguay &
france draw 0-0 to leave france's world cup quest hanging by a thread
~ here's henry getting sent off ~ one of the best games of the tournament,
this ~ so much tension between france's "must score" approach
and uruguay's excellent counter-attacks
not one of the best world cups for old luis but he'll
be back
there he goes poor fella ~ missed the first two games
through injury & by the time he comes back france need to beat denmark
by two goals ~ they lose 2-0 and just like that the favourites are out
emile heskey scores a brilliant goal to make it england
3 denmark 0. that was as good as it got for england though, who lost to
brazil in the next round
the natty dreadlocks of senegal against the skinheads
of sweden ~ henrik larsson used to have natties but showed up in japan
as a skinhead ~ well he paid the price for that bit of turncoatmanship
as sweden crashed out 2-1 here in a fine game of football
was this the moment? looks like it
christian ziege of spurs and lauren of arsenal bringing
a little corner of north london to japan ~ apart from these two, the "hooligan
problem" was fine
rio ferdinand & david beckham in japan
all world football is about this moment ~ cafu lifts
the world cup and we have a popular winner again
