International round-up with videos of our lads in action
Add comment March 29th, 2009
Two of our forwards were in goalscoring action over the weekend, as Emmanuel Adebayor and Robin van Persie netted for Togo and Holland respectively. Adebayor netted after appearing to foul Andrey Bikey, gifting his side an invaluable 1-0 win over rivals Cameroon. Van Persie, meanwhile, rose highest to head home in the Netherlands’ 3-0 victory against Scotland. Neither man’s day was perfect though – Adebayor missed a second-half penalty, and Van Persie was withdrawn after an hour or so with mild concussion.
RVP was wearing his preferred number 10 shirt for Holland, as was Andrey Arshavin for Russia. Highlights of his performance in the 2-0 win against Azerbaijan can be seen here.
Bacary Sagna and William Gallas played ninety minutes in France’s 1-0 win over Lithuania, with Samir Nasri restricted to a twelve minute cameo. Neither Abou Diaby or Gael Clichy took to the field at all.
Before I go, I’d like to that 101greatgoals for those excellent videos, and second arseblogger’s single-fingered salute to the News of the World.
