With England's footballers having a pretty miserable week, following on from Flintoff and Co's Caribbean holiday extravaganza, you may think that England is not performing on the world stage in sports. Think again.In December 2006, less than 4 months ago, England were crowned with the prestigious MacRobertson Shield at the 19th Croquet World Series held in Shepparton Croquet Club, Victoria, Australia.
It apparently went unnoticed in the press....wonder why.
Caribbean
A fantastic bit of internet text commentary was placed on the bbc website today in the 19th over of England and Ireland's group match.
"Botha is tighter than Rik Waller's knicker elastic in this over, maiden over. KP will have to start giving it some tap-tap-tapparoo in a minute."
Absolutely fantastic.
Is Riise truly a great?
It has been claimed before on this blog, by certain unbyassed liverpool supporters, that Mr. Riise (did you score a goal), is the best left back in the world. It would appear that there is some weight to this claim.
Take a look at a sample of all the greats in a variety of fields. Muhammed Ali, Pele, Michael Jackson, Mike Tyson, Donald Trump, Elton John, Henry Ford, Oscar Wilde, Walt Disney...
What do these people have in common? All of them filed for bankruptcy at one point in their career....just as the ginger haired left back has done now

you would take riise anyday!
Mr Riise is by far not the greatest left back in the world! I'll bet I can mention some few thats better. Chelseas Ashley Cole and Wayne Bridge much better. Our own Patrice Evra and Gabriel Heinze much better. Real Madrids Roberto Carlos much better. Villareals Juan Pablo Sorin, much better. Barcelonas Gianluca Zambrotta much better. Bayern Munichs Phillipe Lahm, much better. there you have some..oh and yeah we would take riise, and throw him in the trash! There is only on United! See you i the cl final..
None of the mentioned even come close to Ian Harte
