Hello all. Wow, and double wow. What a performance - like Italy at the back, like Brazil going forward. Trevor Sinclair is the bastard love-child of Pelé, surely. And Danny Mills. Oh Danny boy, you're more than just a thug, that's plain to see. Teddy's contribution cannot be ignored either. A stinging volley with his third touch, a player with more footballing nouse in his little finger than Ariel Ortega has in his entire body. With that kind of play we're a force to be reckoned with. It was orgasmic stuff - the close control demonstrated by the entire team, and the cool handling under pressure from Porno showed the world what a quality side we were. This was a better performance that Munich: there, Germany played shit, and we pounded them into submission. But this afternoon, Argentina played excellently, and we were better than them. The greatest moment of the game surely has to be when David Beckham broke Gonzalez' nose. Pah! Take that for '86 and '98. ++++++CONTENT++++++ So Isobel left. I was initially sad, but then realised that it's actually nothing to cry about. Only her face will be missed. I can't help feeling that it's the beginning of the end for the band (although perhaps Stuart David's departure signalled that), but that's no bad thing - they've had a Brilliant Career. My hope is they'll release one more blinding record (featuring The Magic Of A Kind Word, Lord Anthony and Miraculous Technique) to rival the genius of the first three, and then call it a day. But who knows? Not me. ++++++END CONTENT++++++ The industry of Sol and Rio at the back was outstanding, and for once, the boy Heskey wasn't shit. This afternoon we were the best team in the world. We just need five more identical performances... love Asm.x P.S. Although I understand that a lot of people on this list are a) not English, or b) totally disinterested in football, a display like this needs comemorating in as many ways as possible. ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy" - Mary Cohen _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
