We are just happy that we have already qualified, but we know we will have to beat them if we want to win the group because they obviously have a superior goal tally." Ruud "We want to finish No 1 in the group and we also want to see where we are with the team. Every game has been a test so far and Argentina will be an even bigger one." --------------------------------- [8] Ruud on Argentina --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, June 20, 2006 by ed: "If you had to play Argentina knowing you had to win it, it would be such a difficult thing to go for.

Sporting Index fancy his chances of doing it, with England priced up as favourites to win by 0.3 to 0.5 goals. The Total Goals spread of 2.3 to 2.5 is quite low though, probably in anticipation of a draw; all England need to top the group. Sweden need a point to guarantee their place in the last 16, and except for Ibrahimovic (injured) they've got a full strength team. Four of their players are on one yellow card, including both strikers (Allback and Larsson). Elsewhere, Wilhelmsson and attacking midfielder Kim Kallstrom provide Sweden with further threats. England will start Rooney and Owen together, with Crouch rested and Gerrard replaced by Hargreaves. This will give Lampard the freedom to do what he does best, and he'll be worth watching as he tries to give himself a birthday present - he's 28 on the day. Finally, ref Massimo Busacco is a well-regarded Swiss official but has already shown a red card in this tournament. He produced two yellows and a straight red against Ukraine when they were routed by Spain. He was also the ref that sent Rooney off in England's 1-0 loss to Northern Ireland in the qualifiers. Sporting expect at least five cards, which sounds high but there have been a lot shown so far... Hopefully that's given you something to think about.

Hall, who paid an estimated £3m to take charge of the club in 1991, stepped down as chairman in 1997. Weekend newspaper reports suggested an American backed consortium had been working on a buy-out proposal. A club statment said an approach had been received "which may or may not lead to the disposal of the stake." Hall's son Douglas, who is still deputy chairman of the club, owns a further 13% stake in the club.' var uri = 'http://impgb.tradedoubler.com/imp/img/95796/608750?' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);document.write(' http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=1078&a=608750&g=95796 Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news '); --------------------------------- [39] When sponsors attack --------------------------------- Posted Monday, June 19, 2006 by ed: from Guardian 'For Dutch football fans it has become the summer's cult outfit. Over the past few months, a quarter of a million Holland supporters have bought themselves a pair of patriotic orange lederhosen - wearing them whenever Holland take to the pitch in the World Cup. But when Holland fans turned up on Friday to watch their team play the Ivory Coast, wearing the garish trousers, officials from Fifa were not amused. The lederhosen carry the name of a Dutch beer, Bavaria. The only problem is that the Dutch brewery which makes Bavaria is not an official World Cup sponsor. And so, in one of the most surreal incidents of the World Cup so far, stadium officials in Stuttgart made the supporters take their trousers off - leaving many of them to watch Holland's 2-1 victory in their underpants. "They put our trousers in the bin," said an aggrieved Peer Swinkels, the chairman of Bavaria, Holland's second biggest brewery. "Fans going into the stadium had to dump them in a big container. Fifa said that the supporters could get them back afterwards. But the container was full of rubbish so most people didn't bother. I understand that Fifa wants to protect its sponsors. But this is very strange." Critics say the decision to make more than 1,000 Dutch fans strip off last Friday is evidence of the extraordinary lengths to which Fifa has gone to protect the interests of World Cup sponsors - at the expense of ordinary fans. Fifa, however, says it has done nothing wrong and is entitled to defend itself against what it calls "ambush marketing". Either way, there is little doubt of the seemingly unlimited power that sponsors now wield over global sporting events - with British politicians controversially voting to give sponsors a major role in the 2012 London Olympics. Fifa said its six suppliers and 15 official partners - among them Yahoo, McDonald's and the American brewery that makes Budweiser - had spent 700m (£480m) on the tournament. Without their money, it would be impossible to stage the competition, it said. But the zeal with which Fifa guards its commercial interests has gone down badly with fans - as has its decision to offer 14% of all match tickets to sponsors. Only 8% have gone to national football associations. "It's ridiculous," said Sjoerd Schreurs, a Dutch supporter who had to take his trousers off. "I queued for 25 minutes to get in. When I reached the front, an official told me: 'You're not getting in like that'. I took my trousers off. I managed to chuck them over the fence to some friends. But another official spotted them and took them away.' "I watched the game in my pants," Mr Schreurs, 33, added. "Fortunately I had quite a long T-shirt." Mr Swinkels dreamed up the idea of orange Leeuwenhose, or lion trousers, last year. Dutch fans who purchased 12 cans of Bavaria beer could buy the trousers for just 7.95 (they come with the tail of a lion, Holland's national symbol, and two extra large pockets for storing beer cans). Holland's biggest brewery, Heineken, the official sponsor of the Dutch football association, didn't like the trousers either. It took legal action against Bavaria but lost - after a Dutch judge ruled that fans could wear whatever they wanted. Mr Swinkels has written to Fifa's president, Sepp Blatter, asking whether Dutch fans would have to remove their trousers again when Holland take on Argentina on Wednesday in Frankfurt. "Since when can a sponsor determine what supporters wear?" he wrote, pointing out: "Orange clothing and symbols are part of the national heritage of the Netherlands." But some industry experts say Fifa's intervention was no surprise. Nigel Currie, chairman of the European Sponsorship Association, said: "My view is that if there is a deliberate attempt to ambush an event, it should be stamped on." Mr Currie, who is also director of the sports marketing agency brand Rapport, said: "Sponsors pay huge amounts of money and it is all about TV exposure. If people are caught on screen drinking the wrong kind of drink, it is unhelpful to sponsors. But it should come down to commonsense and a sense of proportion." There were also allegations yesterday that England supporters at last Thursday's Trinidad and Tobago match were forced to hand over Nike clothing at the entrance of the stadium in Nuremberg, because Adidas - the German sportswear giant and Nike's deadly rival - is the official World Cup sponsor. Last night, however, Fifa denied that any Nike clothing had been confiscated. "There are no special rules regarding clothing at the World Cup. Visitors can wear their normal clothing or replica shirts with or without advertising, irrespective of the manufacturer or sponsor's logo," a Fifa spokesman said. This was true of "individuals" but not of groups, the spokesman continued. Some of the most contentious debate during the passage of the London Olympics bill through the Commons surrounded clauses designed to prohibit illicit use of the words "Olympic Games", "London 2012" and the ringed symbol. Lobbyists for the advertising industry believed the measures - insisted upon by the International Olympic Committee - were draconian. The bill prevents non-sponsoring businesses trying to cash in on the games by suggesting a link with the Olympics in their advertising. Locog, the London organising committee, supports the clampdown as necessary for it to raise the £2bn to stage the games. It is searching for four sponsors, each to contribute at least £50m. Last night Mr Schreurs, was searching for a new pair of trousers. "When I tried to get them back they had gone. Holland and Germany haven't always had the easiest of relationships. It's funny to wear them in Germany if you're Dutch." --------------------------------- [38] The Best --------------------------------- Posted Monday, June 19, 2006 by ed: The Best Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news M, L (28 inches high, 22 inches wide), XL (29 inches high, 24 inches wide) and XXL sizes available Just £15 inc p&p UK, £17 ROW - product code is, simply, BEST You can order by sending a cheque to Red News, P.O.Box 176, Manchester, M16 8LG.

The young American moved to Upton Park for £500,000 earlier this week. Now, reports suggest Gerard Pique could be about to join West Brom on loan. The 19-year-old Spanish-born centre-half is seen by manager, Bryan Robson, as the type of player he needs to get the Baggies back into the Premiership. And after Kieran Richardson's successful loan spell at the Hawthorns, Sir Alex Ferguson probably wouldn't stand in the way of Pique's departure. Despite coming to Old Trafford with glowing credentials, the former Barcelona starlet has yet to establish himself as a first team regular and looks a long way from doing so.' --------------------------------- [36] SUN on foot Doc --------------------------------- Posted Monday, June 19, 2006 by ed: 'THE doctor who cleared Wayne Rooney for action last night claimed that keeping the peace between Alex Ferguson and Sven Goran Eriksson was like putting out an oil fire.

We saw the end of their 6-0 win over Serbia and we were very impressed." --------------------------------- [33] Sunday Independent on Keane --------------------------------- Posted Monday, June 19, 2006 by ed: 'ROY KEANE will not succeed Mick McCarthy as Sunderland's manager, despite the reported interest of the consortium headed by Niall Quinn to recruit him. Keane, who announced his retirement from football last Monday, is expected to complete his coaching badges over the next 12 months, while spending time with his family and travelling. After his announcement which followed medical advice, Keane was immediately linked with management of Sunderland under Quinn, who hopes to complete the takeover of the club next week. But a source close to Keane said the former Irish captain intended "to do things properly" and complete the coaching courses before looking for a job in management, preferably as an assistant at a Premiership club. While Martin O' Neill remains the bookies' favourite, the Sunday Independent understands that O'Neill told Sunderland a couple of weeks ago that he was not interested in the job. Friends of Mick McCarthy, meanwhile, insisted he had no interest in returning to the club, despite rumours that he had been approached to work under the new regime with a bountiful budget. When he left Manchester United last December, Keane, along with numerous offers of playing contracts, was offered the manager's job at a Premiership club. He turned it down, choosing instead to continue playing with Celtic, but injuries and the frantic nature of Scottish football ensured that he would not play a full season in Scotland despite the attraction of Champions League football. Keane will not have his head turned by Sunderland either, despite reports that suggest the new consortium will inject significant funds into the club, allowing them to outspend all rivals in the Championship. McCarthy's time there was hampered by the strict limitations placed on his budget and some poor signings with the money he did have to spend. While there would be attractions for Keane in taking the job, the increased media spotlight as successor to McCarthy and the potential for division if he was to form a working relationship with Quinn are factors which may have deterred him. "Roy likes to do things properly," a source close to the player said last night, "and he wants to go about management the right way, getting badges and learning the ropes. He also wants to work in the Premiership." Keane believes his best route into management involves working at the highest level of the game as an assistant before taking a job and the attendant pressures himself. As he stated earlier this year in Dublin, his intention now is to relax with his family and pursue some other interests. He has mentioned scuba diving as an unexplored activity that intrigues him. In Germany this week, former opponents and teammates of Keane have paid tribute to the player. "He was one of the best midfielders I've ever played with," Dwight Yorke said "and captain-wise fantastic. It's sad to see him retire the way he did, but thumbs up for the captain." The Arsenal midfielder Gilberto acknowledged Keane's greatness and said he had made the toughest decision of any professional's life. "The hardest thing in football is to find a time to stop, one day you need to realise that it's time to stop. I wish him good luck." Sunderland, too, may need some luck as they search for a big name to excite the fans. While Quinn has the necessary coaching badges and is believed to be prepared to do the job, there may be complications to his appointment. It would be difficult for Quinn as head of the new consortium to manage both roles, but privately, the former Irish striker is prepared to take on any task at the club.' --------------------------------- [32] MEN on Ruud talk - Gill says no to Bayern? --------------------------------- Posted Monday, June 19, 2006 by ed: 'THE FUTURE of Ruud van Nistelrooy remains a mystery after David Gill issued a `Van Nistelrooy' not for sale notice to Bayern Munich last week when the Germans registered their interest in the Dutch striker. That stance suggested that United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and his 29-year-old hitman had settled their differences. Once van Nistelrooy's duty with Holland in the World Cup is over he is expected to turn his attention to sorting out his club future once and for all. Should he still decide to leave then United are said to be keen on Atletico Madrid's Torres as a replacement. The 22-year-old kicked off the World Cup with Spain in excellent fashion against the Ukraine. United won't comment on reports from Spain that they have agreed a £25m fee for the player.' --------------------------------- [31] I met Wayne Rooney --------------------------------- Posted Monday, June 19, 2006 by ed: http://new.edp24.co.uk/content http://new.edp24.co.uk/content Wayne Rooney can win England the World Cup - so says the 64-year-old Norfolk striker who put the Manchester United hitman through his paces before heading out to Germany. EDP employee Barry Durrant lived the dream when he spent a day at United's Carrington training complex filming a short Nike documentary to be shown on Sky Sports today. The Norfolk & Suffolk Veterans Division Four sharpshooter was propelled into the big time through his love for the game. I nearly fell off my chair when they told me I was training with Wayne Rooney, he admitted. Nike contacted the league and I met them for a couple of interviews. They wanted someone with a 100pc passion for football and when I told them about my years playing and managing for various clubs at a local level they decided I was the right sort of person. It was for a series called 'In Search of the Beautiful Game'. They had the likes of Rio Ferdinand meeting the Rochdale groundsman and Joe Cole spending time with a tea lady in other episodes. Durrant filmed initial scenes at his North Burlingham home and Anglian Combination outfit Blofield before being whisked north for his date with arguably the world's finest young talent. I just thought 'this can't be happening to a little Norfolk lad like me', he said. I met Wayne in the changing rooms and we just started talking - I wasn't a bit nervous. He's such a fantastic lad and so natural. It was before his injury but he told me he was really looking forward to the World Cup. I asked him all sorts about working with Sir Alex Ferguson and how he handled being in the spotlight. With someone like that you think he couldn't go out do things we take for granted - like shopping - but he told me he'd stopped at a garage for a pint of milk the previous week and no one had recognised him. The unorthodox strike duo moved on to Old Trafford for further filming before Durrant's fairytale finally came to an end. I had to sign a confidentiality contract so only my wife and one or two of the people I work with knew, he said. My grandson (Ryan) is just 12 and he was distraught but I had to keep it from him. Now he's got a signed shirt above his bedroom wall. Speaking prior to England's second group game against Trinidad and Tobago last night Durrant offered his well-qualified opinion on Rooney's metatarsal injury saga. In our day they used to call it a broken foot, he said. I certainly wouldn't try to rush him back. The fact he has been able to train must have helped because I think he's the sort of lad who just wants to be playing. David Nugent at Preston came back after five weeks so it is possible. People might think I'm biased now because I got the chance to meet the lad but Wayne Rooney is one of the best players in the world. With him in the side England can go all the way. --------------------------------- [30] 15 year old Norwegian on signing --------------------------------- Posted Monday, June 19, 2006 by ed: Magnus Wolff Eikrem "I haven't had the energy to cope with everyone knowing it, therefore, I have kept it secret.
