After yesterday's dramatic elimination, could the USA get back into the World Cup? Senegal lodged a protest after their defeat to South Africa over an nonexistent penalty. The referee was banned for life and the match ordered replayed. Panama's first goal last night in their historic win over Costa Rica was clearly not a goal. Will Costa Rica ask for the result to be declared void? Can the Americans protest, claiming that the referee was guilty of "unlawfully influencing match results" in breach of Fifa rules? Did I read this online today anywhere? No. But all day I waited for a story like this to come out.
Malta appointed a new national team coach today, Tom Saintfiet from Belgium. He's CV that he sent to the MFA must have been the longest one they've ever received: twenty coaching positions in twenty years. The MFA thought he was an outstanding candidate with a welath of international experience. You move around that much, how can you not be experienced? Mercenary, is the word that came to me. Give him a chance, right? Well, good luck to him and the MFA.
I read a lot of whining from football fans about the international breaks and how they miss watching their club team play. After the incredibly exciting few days we've just had of World Cup qualifiers, I find the prospect of watching the Premier League again quite boring.
