The Pony Club was a little disappointed not to appear in this year's World Cup. After a promising 2-0 win against the Royal Automobile Club we were in good shape to qualify. Then disaster stuck - a devastating four nil loss to the Women's Institute. After that The P Club needed a win in our last game to gain a place in Germany, and unfortunately a 0-0 draw against Flightless Bird Fanciers International just wasn't enough. Maybe we'll have better luck next time. Regardless, here's The Pony Club guide to a few of the better players to watch out for:
Arouna Kone (Cote D'Ivoire) - A verstile player that usually starts out wide but ends up moving to the middle and playing a more narrow game.
Arkadiusz Radomski (Poland) - Something of generic Polish player, but capable of generating some unexpected results.
Dan Quaye (Ghana) - After a lacklustre stint as Vice President in the 80's Dan has really found his niche in the the Ghanan back four.
Anderson Deco (Portugal) - A solid performer in midfield, Anderson is perhaps best known for his famous grandfather Arthur - the namesake of an eclectic form of decorative Modernism.
And here are some useful World Cup links:
The official FIFA site.
The BBC world cup page.
The World Cup blog - another useful resource.
A Nature special feature - roll over the picture to find out about the science of football.
And finally let's hear a rousing...
COME ON ENGLAND!
