Heh, based on the Burl Ives original rather than the Jonny Cash knock-off?

According to Fotmob we are at Tamworth on Friday. I can't imagine we will put out a very strong team with Watford scheduled for Saturday.

If the games were played in Germany, two German sides in the competition along with one English and one Spanish, why was La Liga so prominently featured?

I particularly liked his second against Duisberg as he had a bit to do to get goal side of their defender

He really, really didn't.  I played my entire Sunday football career in defence and I'd be embarrassed at how badly that defender misjudged the ball.

All four teams involved in the tournament were sponsored by betting companies.
Just thought I would mention it.
