madness..
So…
What causes Franz Beckenbauer to go “Anyone in Europe looking at this result will think it is a printing error”. This. A 5-1 thrashing for the German soccer side at the hands of Romania, at Bucharest.
What else in footie news - Carlos Queiroz will be kicked out of Real at the end of the season … Beckham and Ronaldo are being eyed by Chelsea FC and Abramovich, though Chelsea’s probably losing Ranieri.Rivaldo comes to Bolton. van Nistelrooy is being wooed by Real Madrid and Barcelona. Parma have been declared insolvent, with debts of $370 million.
My fav clubs are doing well too - Ajax leads the Dutch league by 6 points from PSV, and Barcelona have hit a purple patch after long - they’re 4 points behind second placed Real and 5 behind Valencia, and have the best “Away” record in Spain. Go Barca.
Not much else - except I had a wakey-wakey night, and a middle of teh night call that pepped me up, slightly, because of its rarity, rather than what was actually discussed during the call.
