The Captains Musings

Anyone who reads my ramblings will be well aware the game of Football that used to be the love of my life has at the highest level rather let me down over the past few years,what with cheating players,negative tactics and managers spending their lives moaning about referees and the opposition the game that I once loved was losing its appeal.

I was at the point of subscribing to the Bog Snorkling channel on Sky.

And then along came the Dutch at Euro 2008 playing a style of football and in a manner that took me back to the days when the game was a joy that I watched every Saturday,The Netherlands have so far played the game with an attacking freedom that is a joy to behold with flowing attractive football and celebrations that do not involve stupid contrived dance routines.

So my love of the beautiful game has been rekindled,will it last? who knows but whilst it does I will enjoy the ride
