Euro 2008? Those fortunate enough to remind themselves that events in Switzerland and Austria were only one version of high quality football available to view in June were rewarded this evening with a barnstorming fixture that harkened back to former times. Wingers were deployed old skool, while the overlapping right and left backs couldn't escape anyone's attention. Sparky Garrattino rattled the bark three times while borrowing the onion sack for his exclusive use during a three goal jamboree that sent the pundits in pursuit of superlatives. Keeping the line high seemed to be the tactical choice of Pantonioni. What a come down however as Aderonski bossed the edge of the D like young Woodcock in his pomp. Ballssssterious put the sphere on his instep. What's this?, the players asked: he only goes and sends it inside-outside and threads it through to the wide area where who do you see popping up to hit it straightonthevalve into the back of the net but Ballssssterious himself. Muted. That was the word on everyone's lips as Coweyscatsi turned on a sixpence to score a quality goal . Conngiggski skipping down the sideline, isn't it? Oh there's a fine cross. And its Hoganfemimartins to pounce on it. Well by jayvvur he's skyed it! Fortune was in for the Dynamos and there he soon was, testing the mesh with a series of strikes that sends the goal tally sky high. Golden boot?
What, there is Campellese displaying what they call 'quick feet, a great first touch, just takes it past the right back and passes it past the advancing keeper'. That's a goal to cherish he seems to say to himself. Here's a chap who won't stand for a shimmying fly-by-night. No: Roperaroo dispenses with the onward forays of the Dynamos like a dose of smelling salts snuffs out an untimely swoon. Take that he seems to say as he awakens the stepover merchant of the Dynamo colours and sends him packing into the Bovril advertisement board. And the new signing Bunynani is staking a claim on the coveted outside right position. Here's Al Kinghali, nursing a bandaged rib: and call me a courgette but he's taken one in the ribcage as the relentless goalward orientations of the Dynamos will not hear of relenting. With the free 'strikers' of the modern game so much in evidence - El Darrylinho and Conngiggski in particular - this was one over which the pundits might argue. There was no denying the pluses which both teams took out of this however as they competed for selection at next week's fixture.
