Although there were four big play-off games in Europe for us all to watch along with
numerous friendlies, possibly the biggest game of the day was held in Cairo between Egypt and
Algeria.
A rivalry that goes back to 1989, the intensity leading up to the game today reached fever pitch
only a few days ago when the Algerian team bus was attacked by fans with rocks.
I wish Arteta was fit so I could replace Lampard with an absolute on the ball

This international break has not been meaningless by any means- in fact, it's
been quite exciting as Nic Anelka gave France a 1-0 lead over Ireland, and former Fantasy Premier
League stars Obafemi Martins (Nigeria) and Amr Zaki (Egypt) got their countries one step closer to
South Africa as well.
There was one spot left in the African region (CAF) for next summer's 2010 World Cup Finals

had a worse weekend than Wigan.
Update: Portsmouth have distanced themselves from speculation that Avram Grant will take over
for Hart.
Portsmouth manager Paul Hart has left the club with immediate effect.
He seemed like a nice enough guy, but he just wasn't a results guy. And we're in the results
business. After 10 losses in just 13 games, and on the heels of a dreadful performance at Stoke
which once again exposed his tactical deficiencies - it looks like Paul Hart is out as manager of
Portsmouth.

So here's a bit of what's been
going on in Butt's Brain these past few days:
- In case you missed it, Roy Keane's mobile phone rant is classic [Unprofessional Foul]
