At the Three Lions 2-1 Hungary

England has not been exhausted. At least, that is what Steven Gerrard et al are shown in the trial against Hungary at Wembley Stadium, London, yesterday morning hrs (12 / 8). Shown in front of an estimated 70 thousand spectators who spent the whole first half to mock his own favorite team, the Three Lions-nickname-beat England 2-1 guest.

Taunts and insults from the stands to be when England central defender Phil Jagielka made an own goal on 62 minutes. Intending to intercept the ball from Zoltan Gera, the new defender has three caps with England was actually directing the ball into his own goalkeeper Joe Hart kept together.

But Gerrard is to make amends. Only seven minutes later, the captain of the Three Lions were leveled by a kick from a distance of 22 meters. Four minutes later, Gerrard beat three defenders before eventually outwit Hungary goalkeeper Gabor Kiray. This was England's first victory after a halt in round 16 of the 2010 World Cup.

"Later, the team received a lot of criticism and insult. Most true, but many are wrong. In particular, a call that we did not care and do not have a commitment to the national team," Gerrard said as quoted by the Associated Press.

"From my first goal, I'll show the public how great this kemenagan meaning for me and other players," he continued.

"After the disappointment in the World Cup, the players suffered great pressure to win this fight. They really put everything to win and succeed. Should have no more to be criticized from us," said the Liverpool captain.

Outside the charming appearance Gerrard, England did not really show anything new. In the starting line-up, there are only four names that do not enter the World Cup squad. Namely, Jagielka, Adam Johnson, Theo Walcott, goalkeeper Joe Hart.

Although not until the half, the presence of new faces to restore lost energy and motivation during the World Cup. They also allow Capello left the 4-4-2 formation and use the 4-5-1 scheme, which in practice could be changed to 4-2-3-1 according to the situation. Wayne Rooney became the sole attacker. He supported Johnson, Walcott, and Gerrrad.

Formation was quite effective. Evidently, the new three-minute walk game, Rooney's goal hacked in Hungary. But, the goal was disallowed because Rooney was in an offside position when receiving the ball Gerrard. In the second half, Capello added penggawa young like Kieran Gibbs and Jack Wilshere.

"I am pleased with the performance of children, especially in the first 30 minutes. However, near the end of the first half, Hungary began to find the best form. We're hard to find a way," Capello was quoted as saying pillowslip Sky Sports.

"In the second half, I saw a very different appearance from my young players. It is very satisfying. In my opinion, England has found the future players," added the Italian coach.

Capello specifically give praise to Wilshere. 18-year-old Arsenal midfielder is desperate to record the debut dropped despite a new morning out of the hospital. He was treated for abdominal infections.

"Wilshere played only briefly for a new five o'clock in the morning was allowed out of hospital. Because of that, I just set it up for ten minutes. Even so, he appeared confident," said Capello.

Bremen Siap Lepas Oezil

Mesut Oezil almost certainly will leave Werder Bremen. In addition to the swift bids from several big European clubs, with Bremen Oezil contract may not be extended. Bremen general manager Klaus Allofs declared 21 years ready to release midfielder who shone with the German national team at the 2010 World Cup.

"We've talked about a contract extension. But, until now there has been no satisfactory solution. We must accept this situation. If there is no other way, the only solution is to let go of Mesut (Oezil)," Allofs said as quoted by Kreiszeitung Syke.

Oezil contract with Die Weissen Grun (nickname Bremen) still remains one year. If not sold now, would be a great loss to Bremen. Because, next year they should release it with the players of Turkish descent or free transfer free status. The problem, to offer a contract extension to Oezil, Bremen did not have enough funds.

Bundesliga clubs are already trying to secure contracts authentic Oezil a few weeks before the World Cup. However, the two parties failed to agree a new contract value. "During the past two weeks, we struggled to reach a deal with Oezil. Many ideas that emerged. The fact that we were not able to restrain him," said Allofs.

"I can imagine, in a few weeks ahead, before windor Transfers to close, many clubs would certainly put pressure on us (to release Oezil). We must listen to their offer and the desire Mesut," he explained.

Bremen give up the signal would make enthusiasts Oezil pairs of horses. After performing brilliantly in the World Cup in 2010, Santer Oezil linked with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Arsenal. The Gunners (Arsenal's nickname) and even very desperate hunt for the anticipated release of Oezil Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona.

Nevertheless, Bremen seemed to not want to lose Oezil granted. They put a relatively high price, ie 27 million euros, equivalent to Rp 314.6 billion.

Price was not a major problem for the clubs who reportedly wanted Oezil services. Therefore, Allofs seeks to hold the player until his contract actually expires. "We really do not want to see him leave this club on a free transfer next summer. But, it's certainly become one of our options," he said.

Oezil no objection to the option. In an interview with Bild last week, she implies a desire to stay in Bremen next season. "I want to fulfill the contract Bremen. I also think that it's a good idea. I do not want to rush to leave this club," explained Oezil.

"The possibility of extending the contract has not been closed. If it's not a season, half season was okay for me," said the owner of 16 caps with the German national team. (Na/c8/ca)

World Cup trophy is the highest achievement for the football player. Including for Carles Puyol. Because of that, after brought Spain into the World Cup champions in 2010, Barcelona was planning to retire from La Furia Roja, nicknamed the Spanish national team.

There has been no official statement from the Puyol. However, based on reports Marca, players have decided that 32-year retirement from the national team. He never expressed a desire that in November last.

When it Puyol states would retire from national team after the World Cup in 2010. Subsequently, he just wants to concentrate on defending Barcelona. In the Catalan club's captain and Puyol is a respected figure.

Puyol made his debut in the national team's friendly against Holland in the party in November 2000. She squad Matador (Spanish national team) at the World Cup in 2002. Since then, Puyol is a vital and irreplaceable figure in line behind Spain.

Puyol was originally positioned at right-back. Well, at Euro 2004, he moved into a central defender position. Gerrard's duet, Puyol and Pique makes Spain so tough defense in the World Cup in 2010. Had pension Puyol, Spanish national team will be very lost.

''He (Puyol, Red) is a person who deserves to be an example to every player. I'll try hard to keep him playing for Spain,''said Vicente Del Bosque, the Spanish coach, told Marca.

Spain World Cup Champion 2010

New European giant this time the champion is crowned enjoy all-night party. They conjure up the whole town into a sea of red and yellow is the color of the greatness of Matador. After the parade, they gather in large plazas and make fireworks. Super-sized Spanish flag was raised and people were dancing.

Iniesta''Presidente! Iniesta Presidente!''Shouted a group of fans while doing long march in the Gran Via, a section in the center of Madrid. They praise Andres Iniesta scored the sole goal of Dutch Spanish to a thrilling final at the Soccer City Stadium yesterday morning.

''What a great day. This victory will be remembered until a very long time. We are very proud to coach,''said Marisa Dalon, an owner of a salon in Madrid. ''I was awake all night and celebrating with my kids in town,''added the woman was 42 years.

No wonder if the public land held a massive party. Therefore, the waiting presence of the World Cup trophy was going on since long. Spain has been plunged in the second edition of the 1934 World Cup held in Europe. However, they always failed to win the crown. El Matador highest achievement is the top four of the previous World Cup editions in 1950.

It's very ironic. Given, Spain always dive with a superior status was favored to win. Moreover, their appearance in the qualifying round is always powerful. Not surprisingly, in recent decades, the Spanish called the king of qualifying. Namely, always kenceng in the play offs, but sluggish on real events.

Therefore, the success of the team that Vicente del Bosque dibesut are reaping high appreciation. ''What makes us more proud, Spain win in a dignified manner. They play clean and classy,''said Delgado, 49, another Madrid residents. ''In contrast, the Netherlands to play hardball and not sporty. They should ashamed,''kecamnya.

Not only in Madrid, the party was also a massive dihelat in Barcelona, capital of Catalan. About 75 thousand citizens took to the streets and parade the flag of Spain. Obviously, that became an emotional moment for the province in the northeastern part of the Spanish. Because, the day before, 1.1 million people demonstrated demanding wide autonomy from the government.

Hoisting of the flag of Spain in Barcelona ignited emotion Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodrigo Zapatero. He even chose to celebrate victory by drinking wine Iniesta et al typical Catalan cava.

''Today we raise a glass of cava and my tears dripping. This is not a public moment since it is usually very good at controlling my emotions,''Zapatero said as quoted by Reuters.

Uruguay Dutch Characters Do not Know CAPE TOWN

Both teams are separated by two different confederations. Therefore, the Netherlands and Uruguay are rarely met. They only have clashed twice, it was already over three decades ago. The duel took place in the first round World Cup matches in 1974 and in a trial in December 1980. The result, the Dutch won the first game with the score 2-0, while Uruguay excel with the same score at the last meeting.

"Action against the Dutch is very troublesome. Not only because they are very strong, but also because we did not know their style," said Sebastian Abreu, Uruguayan midfielder, was quoted as saying on Sky Sports. "We must watch a lot of old video tapes to learn the character of that team," continued the hero of the victory over Uruguay in the quarter-final against Ghana.

"Based on our observations while, the Netherlands and Uruguay played a style of football that is not much different. They have very good potential in the middle sector and in front with a collection of players like (Wesley) Sneijder and (Arjen) Robben," Abreu review.

According to 33-year-old midfielder's Botafogo, Uruguay coach Oscar Washington Tabarez asking his subordinates to focus on guarding Robben. Tabarez considered that the movement of Bayern Munich winger is more dangerous than Sneijder or striker Robin van Persie. Unfortunately, none of the Uruguayan player who had to deal directly with players 26-year-old balding.

Indeed, many members of the squad Charruas-called Uruguay-who play in Europe. But, last season the teams they are not competing in the same level with Bayern. Only Atletico Madrid striker Diego Forlan who have little experience with Robben, when he was still playing at Real Madrid.

"Tabarez always stressed how important it is turned off Robben movement. But we did not understand. What's in the video is often far different from what is in the field," said Abreu. "So, in theory, we know how to stop him. But, his success in the field, that's up to lately," he said.

Therefore, the results of Uruguay will prioritize more than beautiful and entertaining game. Moreover, this time to knit up Charruas final qualifying for the first time in 60 years. "The World Cup is not a competition with the result determined from the accumulation. We have to achieve optimal results in one match. We strive for results," said Diego Lugano, Uruguay defender captain, to the Java Pos in Sunnyside Park Hotel, Johannesburg (4 / 7).

Lugano admit, there are high expectations on the shoulders Charruas today. Because, fans are now expecting Charruas Uruguay can continue driving until the final July 12 (early morning GMT) later, even the most confident will win. "Reaching the World Cup semi-final was a special result for us. Especially if Uruguay stepped into the final," continued the defender who is struggling to recover from a knee injury that right.

On the other hand, the Dutch did not think much about the prospective opponent. Though equally blind to the strength of the opponent, the stronghold of Orange-called Dutch-Dutch think that the biggest enemy is themselves. Therefore, coach Bert van Marwijk desperately mentally polishing his subordinates to be ready to face Uruguay, who had a history of two times world champion.

"Do not worry, we will not wind up like the other big teams are falling in the hands of underdogs," said Van Persie, told Reuters. "We've got characters that are not owned teams like Argentina and England that had fallen. We have a collective game and not relying on one player's name. Unlike the UK who rely on (Wayne) Rooney and Argentina with (Lionel) Messi. With games such as when frustrate Brazil, we will progress, "believes the Arsenal striker.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Dutch captain, said similar things. The player who is familiarly called Gio's view that the Netherlands is no longer a team that plays like an elegant 1970s and 1980s, but the team who played with the effectiveness and efficiency. Of the six games that dilakoni during the World Cup in 2010, Oranje repacking nine goals. Compare with Uruguayan melesakkan only seven goals in six games.

"Our team does not score goals like Germany or Portugal though. But, in fact our team has provided an attractive game and not a few who admit it," said Gio in session press conference in Cape Town. "If one goal alone was able to get us to the finals, why do we have to take chances with three to four goals scored?" he added.
