So, did you successfully spot the footballer last week?
Did you win the chance to write an article for 90minutesonline?
No, you didn’t, because it was Fulham’s Danny Murphy, not Phil or Gary Neville or Barry ‘two fingers’ Ferguson.
Wetherspoons seemed a fitting location to meet before the match. Over a £1 pint in a dirty glass I perused the League One standings in a copy of the Sun.
It appeared that the result would mean as little to the teams as it would to me. Both Orient and Colchester were stoically mid-table. Their five remaining fixtures were of almost no consequence.
In its own words Free Kick Champ requires the following of you: “Take your shot if you can shoot free kicks to surpass the defense. If you play good you will get bonus round.”
In real English, you have to see how many out of 10 free kicks you can score against a keeper with a one-man wall.
A one-man wall might sound easy but it’s a two-dimensional game and it’s actually pretty tough. There’s no possibility of curving the ball. All you can do is lump it, but you do get to control the angle and power of these lumps.
Being an Argentinean footballer with attacking pretensions bestows a lot of expectation. As soon as a new icon bursts onto the scene there are always the inevitable comparisons with the former cocaine snorting, obesity prone legend that is Diego Maradona.
El Diego is the yardstick against which all others are judged. Some have come close, but most haven’t.
Are you in favour of a strong national team? Of national team players playing for the top clubs in your country's league? Of youth players being trained and then getting access to the first team at their original club? Do you want players who have come through the youth system at a club to sign their first pro contact with that club? Do you like short shorts?
It's that man Joseph ‘Sepp’ Blatter asking the questions in a recent statement on FIFA's website. Ok, he didn’t ask about short shorts this time, but he did say that if you answered "yes" to these questions, then 'like me you are in favour of the '6+5' rule'
