Vladi, RSC meet in Bloem

Another late update: we had the second World Cup clash between two current MCFC players the other day in Bloemfontein - Vladimir Weiss's Slovakia lost 2-0 to Roque Santa Cruz's Paraguay.

It was a decent game, Paraguay were much the better side, and while Weiss had a nice touch or two Santa Cruz looked quite good. Not as freely mobile as we might hope but playing ninety minutes of a World Cup as an achievement in itself for him. He played the articulate pivot between the energy and movement of Nelson Valdez and Lucas Barrios - and looks set to play in the last sixteen.

y'see, THATS why I keep coming back. Phrases like "The articulate pivot". One step ahead of the cultured left foot.

I'm just happy he has not fallen back on the lazy pundit cliche: "Well Organized"
