Nygren, Lagerbielke, Starfelt combine

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

With the sides level a minute before the break, Benjamin Nygren setup Gus Lagerbielke to give Sweden the lead over Poland in last night’s World Cup playoff match.  Both sides scored once in the second half, with Sweden securing a 3-2 winner on 88 minutes.  Lagerbielke is having the season of his life after ending an unproductive spell at Celtic, where he appeared in only seven Premiership games, two of which were as sub.

Recruiting talent is only the first part of teambuilding.  Letting it wither on the vine not only destroys that talent, it tarnishes your reputation with other prospects, making subsequent recruitment more difficult.  Gus partnered Carl Starfelt in central defence for Sweden last night.  Carl, who was deployed successfully, left Glasgow just days before Gus arrived and a new chapter started at Celtic.

Reaching the tournament in June is a deserved reward for Benji’s work this season.  His game intelligence is clear and at 24, he has space to continue his development.

Oh Italy!  Failure to qualify for three successive World Cups is humiliation for one of the world’s premier football powers.  They have recorded one win (England) and two draws (Paraguay, New Zealand) at the tournament since winning 20 years ago.  The tournament will be poorer without them.

The Azzurri’s boss Rino Gattuso is in his 12th managerial position.  The longest he has continuously held a job was 19 months, at Milan. 11 years ago he applied for, but failed to land, the Hamilton Accies manager’s role.  That was a time when the Accies knew more than most about the game.

    Would the blessed GEORGE CONNOLLY have scored this beautiful historic Celtic goal if it hadn’t been for BERTIE AULD’s quick long ball over the top?

    April fools day for the Jambos.

     

    Celtic 6-0 Hearts 1st April 1980/81

     

    After each goal the JUNGLE sang:

     

    “April fools, April fools, April fools…”

     

    The stadium is a library without the Green Brigade.

     

    Why did Celtic’s so called better directors in 1994 not vow to challenge the Hillsborough lies which led to 97 innocent Liverpool fans being murdered by the goons of the Thatcher government to trap the game of football inside lego all seated plastic gormless stadiums.

     

    And now societies young men have been soft-balled for 30 years removing their uppity genes.

     

    Now society is majority compliant sheeple pen as the Covid plandemic sadly proved.

     

    Anybody refusing to comply with these corrupt governments will be put on a terrorist watch list.

     

    What a time to be alive.

     

    Sad are the homes….
