    Blair hijacks World Cup

    LONDON (Reuters) - Owen Hargreaves got the prime ministerial backing of Tony Blair on Monday on the eve of Tuesday's World Cup Group B match against Sweden.

    Hargreaves is expected to play the holding midfield role against the Swedes in place of Stephen Gerrard, who looks set to be rested as he is only one match away from suspension.

    While Hargreaves has yet to win the hearts of many England fans, Blair said he should be given an opportunity.

    "We've got to give him a chance

    and he hasn't actually started and played a full game," Blair told soccer fans on BBC Radio 5 Live. "He's got a good record as a player for Bayern Munich."
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

    Just watch when England crash out how quickly Blair distance himself from the Team, he only sings when they are winning, and of course the World Cup is a great distraction from the continuing Fiasco which is the hallmark of this Government.

      I thought the yellow card count is put back to zero after the group phase, making the above sentence BS. Can anyone confirm?

        Blair knows feck all about football, except for briefings from his special advisors.

        This was obvious from when he declared that he was a Newcastle United supporter (why Newcastle? Oh of course, it's near his constituency), and pretended to reminisce about watching Jackie Milburn from his seat in the Gallowgate end.

        Not only was Blair only four years old when Milburn last played for the club, but there were no seats in the Gallowgate end until 40 years later.

          It is, but if anyone gets a second in the last group game, the suspension is still carried out in the next round.

                  Owen Hargreaves was actually born in Canada but due to heritage was eligible to play for either the English, Welsh, Canadian, or German national teams. He chose England.....fecking shame really.
