To borrow from The Sports Guy...

Some World Cup Ramblings, as I try to figure out what I'll eat for lunch:

• So how badly did Sven want to let Sweden tie that game?
• Please, please tell me he let them tie the game.
• I loved the idea of the All-Liverpool-Born Forwards.... but the fates intervened.
• Is Michael Owen made of glass?
• Or is glass too durable a substance?
• Can someone please teach Peter Crouch how to kick a ball?
• Will Frank Lampard ever score a goal?
• It was nice to see Mr. Posh Spice show up...
• Ecuador will be a tougher match than you think... they apparently rested their TOP FIVE players while getting smoked by Germany. Consider yourselves warned.

And some Bonus Ramblings from Page 2's Michael Davies:

• Rooney is getting stronger
• Joe Cole is playing like a star
• Gerrard is scoring goals
• Crouch is very tall
