Players with Man of the Match award, so far:
Makelele
Arjen Robben
Lampard.
Players with impressive performances
Drogba
Crespo
Essien
Joe Cole
And add calm secure performances from Chelsea's defensive players and goalkeeper and you know this is another World Cup featuring the "hand of God".
Edit: Professional default. Wrote Hessien where Essien should be.

The hand of a tax-dodging Russian oil tycoon is more accurate surely?
Where else do you have such overpayed players working and playing week after week with such regularity?

Originally posted by PalynkaI agree he's a great coach. As a man though he's a dishonorable, whinging, egomaniac who has single-handedly brought inter-club rivalry to new lows.

Originally posted by ElleEffSeeeWhat are you trying to say? The year we won Jack Walker had invested some money into the club, but barely any compared to today's standards, and hardly a lot then. We still won it 😀 And yes, Daglish wasn't a great coach was he. 😛
Blackburn did it and Dalglish wasn't that great a coach.
Originally posted by Freddie2006Don't agree there - at that time the money you were forking out was comparable to today - Shearer was a national record signing, and they snapped up good players from other clubs just as Chelsea do today (Warhurst, Batty, etc). Okay they couldn't pick the best players in the world as the Chavs do now, but they did get some of the best players in the country, only just missing out on Keane. Dalglish wasn't the greatest of coaches, but he was up there with the greatest of players. 🙂

Originally posted by ElleEffSeeeI'm still confused about what you said. "Daglish did it"...did what?!
