My favorite story of the day – hat-trick hero Theo Walcott broke a stud off his cleat before halftime of yesterday’s game, but kept the shoes on since he scored a goal and didn’t want to jinx anything. He also said, and I quote from the Guardian article: “The stud had basically just fallen to pieces. That’s why I finished the third goal with my left.”
Fifty bucks says there’s no way he’s washing those game shorts in the near future, which is unfortunate for the others in the England locker room. And that’s gotta make Croatia feel good (oh, I’ll just score this last one with my other foot).
And right after Walcott’s moment in the spotlight, his manager Arsene Wenger was quoted in this Soccernet article as warning against building the youngster up too much and calling it “an exception.” Just a thought here, buttttt maybe you want to just ride that goal-scoring wave until it hits the shore and THEN warn against building him up too early. Just sayin'........Check out the rest at:
