[...] There are no major shocks, with the only noteworthy aspect perhaps being that Leon Osman will be allowed to have another crack at international football (though this time without the slightly unsettling rakish Movember ‘tache) after making his England debut back in November of last year, playing the whole 90 minutes against Sweden in a 4-2 defeat, i.e, the day Zlatan won football.

I was amazed that Hart didn’t get pulled at half time to give big Fraser Forster 45 minutes, or at least give him 60 minutes. This would have been a great chance to have a look at him at International level. Don’t understand that.

“Swedbank paid €153 million for the naming rights to Sweden’s new national stadium only to re-name it the ‘Friends Arena’ in order to promote an anti-bullying charity they support. That’s pretty gosh darn cool of them.”

Zlatan IS human? An outlandish claim to end a collection of uncomfortably accurate observations.

The obvious (well…) generosity aside, Swedbank actually paid €15.3 for the naming rights of the stadium. When a huge bribery scandal was made public involving the companies building the stadium, Swedbank pulled this Friends Arena stunt to save face. Still cool of them though, but more of a PR thing than “real” generosity.
