World Cup Final - Ugly Stuff
Sad to see the inventors of Total Football playing like a bunch of Sunday park cloggers. Holland lucky to see out the game with ten men. The ref, an English policeman, must have thought about reaching for his trusty truncheon a time or two. Here's Mike Ingham, the BBC's chief football correspondent:the biggest match in the world was soiled and stained and betrayed by the Netherlands.
I know part of football is to stop your opponent, but you must do it legitimately and I don't really see the point of getting to the final if you're going to disrespect it like the Dutch did so crudely. It was a bit like watching a child trying to build a sandcastle and another child then knocking it down.

Gaffe by English Keeper Robert Green Gifts Goal to USA
This is in today's Courier - that's three cartoons in four days. Might not have to teach my classes in the fall.... I feel bad for Robert Green - seems like a stand-up chap, and this was probably one of the top five goalie gaffes in football history, given the ridiculousness of the thing itself, and the importance of the goal. Ray Clemence in 1976 against King Kenny was a good one too....
