Three more games done and dusted and it's all change at the top.
Yet another valuable 3 pointer takes him clear with a the new young upstart on the block, Jack Wakefield pushing hard, as he took a lovely 7 points today to see him up into second place. Kev seems to be on the slippery slope downhill as he drops to third. Other players showing some form include Dean Smith, Paul Firmston and Jack's mother Emma collecting a lovely 6 pointer today.
Holland winning two nothing by nature of the Scouse contingent of Daniel Own Goal Agger as he's now known, along with Dirk Kuyt saw them brush off the Danes quicker than it takes to grill half a dozen rashers of bacon! This was a popular scoreline for Footcallers including Mark Horner (2006 last placed player) James Sandiford, Louis Turney and top Chelsea fan Carol Gerrard and other Essex player, Barry Smith, it's always nice to see the points being distributed geographically! Finally three players have picked up their first 3 pointer and they are Keith Firmston, Andy Booth and Eddie Bojtler, things really are looking up.
So on to Japan v Cameroon and surely we'd see some dodgy defences and loads of goals. Well not really, a fair amount of excitement at both ends but just the one goal from Keisuke Honda (he's known as "Civic" in dressing room) tucking away the only goal of the game. Eto'o showed a bit of class for Cameroon and Mbia came close with a screaming shot that belter the crossbar. Only 5 Footcallers got this scoreline including the dynamic duo of Neil Jefferis and his ol sparring partner David Jenner, that's meeeeeeeeeee! Hurrrah my first 3 pointer (quick toot on my Vuvuzela for that!)
Finally reigning champions Italy fancied a quick run out against Paraguay, knock in half a dozen goals then back to base camp for spag bol and rendition of Nessun Dorma! Er No. First of all it p***ed hard and it clearly was the wrong type of rain because the South Americans certainly gave them a game and they even took the lead. So the Italians dug deep and managed to rescue a draw from a corner where the Paraguay keeper did his best Superman impression leaving his goal wide open for the equalizer. And that's how it stayed 1-1 and it was surprising just how many predictions had a one all draw including Chris Amos, Dan "the floorman" Wilks, Reginald Brunt, Stevie G Skyla, Paul Wratten and special mention to Darryl "I just wrote down a bunch of numbers" Abbott, well done Darryl, you're up to 37th now.
That'll do. See ya.
