I was slightly miffed at Neil Lennon’s TV comments on Efe Ambrose yesterday, “He can’t cross”, but on reflection, better Neil points out the player’s flaws to the nation than gives him a ringing endorsement. I’d a similar sentiment after Emilio Izaguirre’s dangerous looking forward step against France, which was never in danger of making contact with an opponent, when an ever-unhelpful commentator assured us Izzie, “has that in his locker”. Anyone who has watched him for four years will know he doesn’t.
Based purely on what’s been offered up on UK TV, neither player will be attracting an offer, which is good.
Both Honduras and Nigeria have a difficult task ahead if they are to remain in the tournament beyond the group stage. Fraser Forster’s England also have it all to do. It’s been great for the three of them to get to the World Cup but the sooner they’re home, uninjured, the better.

Aye it’s a Mexican Weave….
#hereallweek
Mexico now looking more likely.
Sorry i have to correct that last statement, they pay a lot of clueless managers and out of date players, as well as charlatan directors, media spin doctors an anyone else who doesn’t seem to deserve a wage.
They are the people indeed.
Apparently the Brazil squad which failed to win the World Cup on home soil in 1950 were never forgiven.Are we watching the Unforgiven II ?
Yellow card. About time. Neymar being fouled every time he gets the ball. Zero protection from the ‘corrupt’ ref.
Son just described Fred as Gary OConnor :-))

You’ll realise in time it’s the way forward
Brazil now moved to odds against! Worth a wager at home with 25 mins to go.

Welcome John Collins, looking forward to seeing you in a Celtic coaching track suit.
Mexico had a great chance to create an upset and the home ref probably inadvertently got them playing but ….. they will need a piece of magic to win.
A CELTIC fan has been cleared of throwing eggs and abuse at people taking part in an Orange parade.
Eric Callaghan had denied causing a disturbance as Armadale Flute and Drum band passed the window of his West Lothian home.
The father of four – who was allegedly wearing a Celtic football jersey – was accused of shouting sectarian remarks at followers of the “cultural parade” from the window of his first floor flat.
Callaghan, 53, also denied throwing eggs at the marchers who were parading to celebrate the flute band’s 40th anniversary.
He refuted allegations that he told a police officer to “f*** off , you w***er” during the alleged incident on April 27 last year.
Giving evidence, PC Stephen Leonard, 34, positively identified Callaghan as the culprit during a trial at Livingston Sheriff Court today.
The officer said he’d been leading the parade when he saw the accused hanging out of his window and heard him shouting “Orange b******” at the marchers.
He said he went over and told Callaghan to go inside and shut the window but was met with a tirade of abuse.
He said he returned after the parade had finished and charged the accused, who replied: “I wisnae there”.
Orange Walk organiser Hugh Cockburn, 59, gave evidence that he was only 50 per cent confident that the accused had been the man wearing the Celtic top who was swearing from the window.
But he added: “You didn’t need a lip reader to know what he was saying.”
Van driver Steven Duncan, 59, told the court was unable to identify the Celtic supporter who had been at the window.
He said: “I could see eggs landing on the road but I couldn’t see who was throwing them.”
Katrine Craig, prosecuting, asked the court to adjourn the trial so that a second police witness – who had been excused because she was on holiday – could be called to give evidence.
Sheriff Douglas Kinloch said the trial had already been postponed three times and no suitable dates for a part-heard trial were available within the next month.
Turning to Callaghan, the sheriff said: “The Crown is not leading any further evidence which is insufficient, as I understand it, for your conviction.
“You’re found not guilty of the charge.”
As Callaghan embraced his children outside court he spoke of his relief at being cleared.
“He said: “I’ve denied this from the start. It wasn’t me and I’m glad the sheriff agreed.
“This has been hanging over me for more than a year and I spent a holiday weekend in the cells after being arrested.
“I’m delighted it’s all over now.”

I love the line about “the officer said he was leading the parade”. Says it all really. Was he on or off duty at the time.
Brazil better than 2 to 1 now at the cream cookies

Motta?
Does that mean the cultural walk organiser and the PC were left with egg on their face?
Throwing eggs at an orange march, is that what passes for Saturday Kitchen in west lothian?
Some great defending by Mexico again. ‘Squeaky bum’ time for Brazil as last 10 minutes approach!
