Clebrity Night Shot

After a big day of Squad announcements yesterday, fans, commentators, players and spread betters will be waking up today wondering what the hell happened. The fans will be wondering why some of their beloved are not worthy of a place when some lesser mortal has been included.

Commentators will have been proved totally wrong in some of the predictions they threw out with such authority. Some of them seem so informed you would think they where climbing in under the duvet with Fabio Capello (rather you than me Guv) such is their wisdom on who's in and who's out. The players, well what can you say. Ronaldinho, Adriano, Van Nistelroy, Vierra, Totti, Zanetti, Cambiaso, Benzema to name a few will have had their hopes dashed of one final appearance at the greatest show on earth. While some of these are in the twilight of their careers, I'm sure somewhere in there was a flickering hope that when their respective managers named the squads, their name would be on the list.

For the likes of Ronaldinho and Benzema they are in a different place. Ronaldinho seems to have been taken over by the celebrity monster instead of concentrating on what he does best. I'm sure he thought he'd be there just because of what he can do with a dead ball from 30 yards. You don't mess with Mr Dunga to easy, and he might have strengthened his squad because of it. Mr Domenech on the other hand, well I'm sure half of France think he's gone mad and the rest don't care. As for the spread betters well there just trying to make an honest living...
