Three lions on the shirt roared last night with England beating minnows Andorra 6-0 at a Wembley, London. With Rooney getting a first half brace, one of them being a beautifully controlled volley, and Lampard adding the third before half time it was all a stroll from there on. As it should i hear you say but tell me this, when was the last time England took real control of a game against a side like Andorra? Hmm, exactly. For once it was nice to see us take total control early on instead of giving everyone the jitters till 60 mins in for a second goal. I digress, second half sub Defoe added 2 more goals before Crouchie got another (he has a 1 in 2 ratio - unbelievable i know and all thanks to playing the Jamaica's and Andorra's of the footballing world). With just one more win needed to secure World Cup football for next summer England like in fine shape to be in South Africa come summer 2010.
From one Manchester Utd great to another. Ronaldo looks to be finally heading off to the sun after 6 years of rain in Manchester. With Real his boyhood dream who can blame him for going? He has been awesome for pretty much 3 seasons now and won everything you possibly can at Utd. As for Utd, with their debts to control it seems £80million is too much to turn down. As long as they spend some of that money wisely they should be fine but looking at the clubs transfer history it is doubtful. I'm expecting some over priced players to be heading to Manchester this summer, both red and blue. One thing for sure is Liverpool and Chelsea will both be licking their lips at the prospect of taking on a Utd side without Ronaldo's (least we forget Tevez too) attacking abilities. And If a club the size of United think Antonio Valencia will fill his boots they are in for a shock for sure.
Ah, the summer transfer merry-go round, sometimes it's more fun than the on-field season itself, and there is 2 1/2 months still to go. What's the bets on an over priced winger signing at Old Trafford on 31 August at 23:50?
