Footy Speak

For me, the most important results of the weekend came in at: Scotland beating Macedonia 2-0, James Mcfadden with a superb goal, Egypt, comming away with a 1-0 win over Rwanda to put their world cup dreams back on track and Portugals 1-1 draw with the up and comming Denmark. Bendtner of Arsenal scored an absolute cracker – viewable below. For Portugal, a late equalizer means they still need to beat Hungary, at home, and away and hope that Denmark falters against lesser opponents.  I really doubt Portugal will make it to the world cup – its a double wamy for England. Cristiano Ronaldo. One of the greatest players of our time, will NOT play at the world cup! On the other hand, England will not go out to Portugal! Score??

I placed £100 bet on Egypt to come through on the night at decent odds. I’m a happy man, although, if Portugal had come through with a win, I would be a MUCH happier man, raking in over £2k in accumulator bets. Frustrating…aye!
