Brazil, Banter and Ben

The England v Brazil friendly was a pleasant surprise last night.  Apart from a few dodgy moments of defending I though the team did well.  We could tell Ronaldinho wasn’t going to score his penalty the moment we saw the worry in his eyes.  I was a little surprised at the lack of praise for Walcott who had some storming runs down the right hand side to deliver the ball into the box.
For those of you who like a bit of light hearted entertainment combined with their football matters can I recommend Tony’s Team Talk, late Wednesday night on Radio five.  The link to the podcast is here:-
Each week, Tony pits Dan Walker of football focus with sports commentator Conor McNamara.  They discuss the latest games, try and guess a shock score line in next week’s fixtures and compete in the half time quiz.
Incidentally follow Conor on twitter (@ConorMcNamaraIE).  Compared to the drab factual accounts of most sports presenters he’s quite witty and does a guide to the grub he gets served at various football grounds – worth a look at the very least.
Looking forward to the home game against Birmingham on Saturday.  Let’s hope Paddy has sorted out the pitch to Ben Hamer’s satisfaction  ( http://www.southlondon-today.co.uk/Sport.cfm?id=3781&headline=Ben ) !!!!
