I think Holland have got a chance against Brazil if they can play in behind the Brazil fullbacks. Both love to get forward and do it well, but they inevitably leave gaps behind them. Usually this is covered by one of the centre halves moving across and then one of the 2 holding midfielders will drop in deep to cover the absent centre half. However, this will then leave a gap centrally and this gives room for Schneider to operate. I would be encouraging Schneider and De Jong to play diagonal balls from centre mid towards corner flags and turning the full backs so that they are always on the back foot, particularly onto Brazil's left back who is the weaker of the two and this will also allow Robben to get at him.
I agree Jah they are impressive. I think on the day any team can have a chance and Holland are a good side with technically very good players but everything will really have to click for them on the day and also it's very much up to the manager what kind of attitude and gameplan he instills in the players on the day. Personally I would think the best approach would be a get at them approach not showing them too much respect. Obviously this will leave them open to counter attacks but it's a gameplan that is probably worth adopting. My only concern is that up to now the Dutch manager seems very much the cautious type.

interesting interactive graphic, showing what countries squads' players actually play in over the last world cup and how pretty much everything changed after the talent market that was the 94 world cup.

And look how dominant the premiership is today.

It's in Portuguese but its easy enough to follow

Today's dogshite rumour....but you never know ;-)


Today's rumour: Courts held a further 2 week gagging order on steve gerrards private life, turns out he got his wife's sister pregnant (not a 16 year old )


Will hit the newspaper in 14 days, the judge held the gagging order to protect FA while they decide on capello, and the future of English footy..


John terry and the england boys all know about it and JT had a argument with capello because gerrard got to keep the captains armband. the tension in the camp was down to JT and half the team saying gerrard was a disgrace and the other half of the squad backing gerrard..The press conference was related to the tension and JT wanted Gerrard exposed - they hate each other..

looking at t'interweb it's like a brush fire of unsubstantiated rumour, cross pollenation and chinese whispers to mix loads of metaphors.

Surely rather than repeating this crap we should agree on an even sillier one and start putting it 'out there' and see how far it goes. Like a lazy computer virus, or more like one of those emails that says email me to your ten nest friends or your head will disappear up your own arsehole or something.


Any thoughts?


Ashley Cole ate a hamster from out of Richard Gere's bottom perhaps whilst proclaiming he hates people, especially poor people?

I got that Gerrard rumour other day and as someone already said no sister exists ... but hey no one is interested in a west ham player escaping prison for allegedly headbutting his pregnant sister


Based on how Rooney played during WC with his mind seeming to be elsewhere, and booking a holiday 2 days before Germany match, almost in tears on return to Heathrow, I think there maybe a Rooney story that is about to be exploded in the next few days!

    • Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report. 
    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
