So, how did international week end up?
England made full use of Paul Robinson and Aaron Lennon, who started both games. Jermain Defoe came on as a substitute in both games and, it has to be said, all but scored the winner agaist Andorra. 0-0 against Israel (with a Defoe goal ruled offside) and a 3-0 win against Andorra was the final outcome for England.
Tom Huddlestone came on as a substitute for England U-21, in their 3-3 friendly draw with Italy at the new Wembley.
Dimitar Berbatov’s Bulgaria only managed a 0-0 draw with Albania, despite a fair amount of efforts on target. Teemu Tainio did not start in Finland’s 1-0 defeat to Azerbaijan due to still struggling with injury. Robbie Keane played in the Republic of Ireland’s 1-0 win over Wales, but was suspended for the subsequent 1-0 win over Slovakia.
In Africa, Hossam Ghaly scored the last goal in Egypt’s 3-0 win over Mauritania and Didier Zokora’s Ivory coast cruised to victory over Madagascar.
Lee Young-Pyo’s Korea were beaten 2-0 by Uruguay, but came back and beat Uzbekistan with the same score line a few days later. Paul Stalteri scored one of the goals in Canada’s 3-0 friendly with Bermuda.
And so, we are finally back to normal, the lads are back in training together – bring on Reading!

Hello Lisa:
any comments about Berba's lack of goals yet? The more he talks the less he scores. Or maybe he's truly cursed ahahah...
Next Thursday is the day of Death in Seville. Any idea about whose funeral is going to be?
Cheers !

You know, yesterday ALL the lads played as though they had been cursed - the ball just went absolutely everywhere except into goal! Astonishing. Let's hope it's not an Easter curse which will go on for a week.
When it comes to Dimitar's goal tally I feel the need to point out that he tends to create more than he scores... let's not forget that wonderous performance against Bolton - he made the whole game, yet his name did not appear on the score sheet. But hey, yesterday that didn't help anyone either... :-)
L.
you're getting the point now:
unless dealt with, curses spread like a virus...
let's see if he does the right penance BEFORE Seville's bells toll...
