Chelsea v Portsmouth After an early half-chance for Kanu which he headed a few feet over Hilario’s bar, Chelsea quickly took this game by the scruff of the neck and the difference in class between these two teams, separated by only two places in the table, was apparent to all viewers. The triple horned strike […]

Germany v Argentina Huge game for the host nation against an opponent they would have rather have avoided at least until the final. Klose, Podolski, Schweinensteiger and of course Emporer Ballack, will all need to be watched very carefully by the Argies, especially in the first ten minutes of the match because it is this […]
