Eduardo's most common move, the ankle breaker
This is the most obvious Funny
Feeling Friday selection in history - but the selection completely fits the award for the week - an
unpopular, out of form, or underrated player who we think will perform over the next few weeks.
Couldn't be more obvious: it's Eduardo (7.

Hajduk Split have had a terrible start to the season in Croatia, especially by their elite
standards, sitting 14 points behind leaders Dinamo Zagreb after 12 games up until this weekend. Fan
anger though with no reports of any incidents or threats prompted police to step-up security during
training and at matches this week.

The curtain comes down on England's World Cup qualification campaign and, no matter the result
on Wednesday 14th November against Belarus; Fabio Capello will be looking ahead to the World Cup
with confidence. The road to South Africa has been uncannily smooth for a side that couldn't make
it to the Euro 2008 starting line; with spread punters who got with Don Fabio's side generally
happier than those who didn't.

You might not have noticed, but the UEFA Europa League (formerly the UEFA Cup) started play this
week. Despite the rebranding, you probably still don't care too much who wins it oddly enough, the
tournament is back where it started in that sense. In the 1950s and 1960s, then known as the Fairs
Cup, its purpose and meaning were unclear, and complaints rained down that it was just another
pointless competition cluttering up the schedule.

Bragging rights originating from the Eternal Derby will not masquerade Hajduk Split's lack of
conviction at the ‘business end' of the campaign as the aftertaste of the 33-match saga is one
inundated with disenchantment and an equally-concentrated dose of envy. This frustration was
inevitable because the history of the Croatian First Division informs us on the occasions Hajduk
fail to secure the championship, it is relinquished across to the blue-faction of Dinamo Zagreb,
who revelled in a fourth-consecutive title charge that was sweetened all-the-more with a tenth
domestic cup honour.

The Netherlands became the first European team to book their place at the 2010 World Cup Finals at
the weekend after their 2-1 win over Iceland in Reykjavik. The Dutch maintained their 100% record
in the campaign thanks to a goal apiece from Nigel De Jong and Mark Van Bommel, and it leaves them
11 points clear at the top of Group 9 ahead of Scotland who have a game in hand.

I'm a bit late, but let's see what we can expect in this pretty much a crucial qualifier.
The stakes: Well it's a situation rather untypical for us, as we have had much smoother rides in
the last couple of qualifying cycles. Basically, anything shorter than victory puts us in real
danger of missing out the runners up place behind Capello's England.

against his ex agent who has been claiming £950.000 as compensation.This represents about 10% of

David Villa, Worth More than Ronaldo?
It's probably the most ridiculous release clause of any contract, ever: David Villa's £130m

Wing sensation Theo Walcott says he is enjoying becoming the hatchet men's top target. Arsenal star
Walcott was on the end of some brutal treatment in the Ukraine on Wednesday. Dynamo Kiev's Andriy

Allegedly, Croatian fans were spewing racist comments at England's, Emile Heskey in a match during
the World Cup qualifyers. The game against England and Croatia took place last week at Maksimir

made against Croatia.

England blasted Croatia 4-1 yesterday in Zagreb in their second World Cup 2010 qualifying game,
spurred by a hat trick from Theo Walcott, of all people. It was an impressive victory, to be sure,
especially since Croatia hadn't lost in a competitive game on home soil since 1994 and England was
missing Steven Gerrard and Owen Hargreaves.

Croatia hosted Fabio Capello's England in Zagreb at the Makismir Stadium, where they had never lost

In case you haven't heard (and if so, where have you been?), our very own Theo Walcott got a
hat-trick with England in Zagreb. The 4-1 win was an amazing result, even with 10 men on the
Croatia team. Croatia hasn't lost in Zagreb since 1994, England have been generally terrible for
two years (and not hugely impressive for years before that), and no one was expecting much.

"The time for revenge is finally upon us."
At least that's what England is thinking as it takes the field in Zagreb to take on Croatia in
today's crucial World Cup qualifying match. You all will remember that it was Croatia that knocked
England out of Euro qualifying, forcing many an England fan to stay home rather than enjoy the
festivities in Austria and Switzerland.
