WORLD CUP ONE TWOS
PLAYERS TEEMING AT SW19 BLACKOUT
Andy Roddick mimed a goal-scoring volley, Serena Williams tweeted with fury and punters departed for nearby pubs or listened on radios after the All England Club had the temerity to enforce a blackout of England's World Cup group game against Slovenia
So serious was the intent to keep football's dark arts from view the media centre mandarins had pulled the blinds down "to make sure the journalists' TVs aren't visible" to those passing outside.
Cue three linguistically challenged tweets from the reigning ladies' champions before signing off in disgust: "R they paying the umpires to cheat USA?? I have never seen such injustice since I played us open 2004, and 2009... Also Venus Wimbledon2004.”
That was followed by: "I can't watch this. These people are not fair. This is blatent cheating I'm watching football/soccer online this is outrageous!!! World cup? World cheat." And: "No wonder USA doesn't get onto soccer. It's all a set up!!!”
CONGRATULATIONS
FROM CLINTON
Bill Clinton offered his congratulations to the USA team after seeing Landon Donovan score an injury-time goal to send them through to the last 16 of the World Cup as group winners.
The USA looked set to crash out in the group stage despite creating numerous chances to score against Algeria. However, Donovan's dramatic addedtime strike gave them a win they thoroughly deserved for their persistence.
"Every contest eventually becomes a headgame," the former president said at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria. "I like people who don't quit though. We are notkeenon quitters in my family."
The USA will play the runners-up in Group D at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium on Saturday.
MORE HURT FOR RIBERY
France playmaker Franck Ribery will undergo groin surgery on Friday, a team spokesman said on Thursday.
The player was to leave South Africa on a plane chartered by his Bayern Munich club and would be operated on in Munich, the spokesman added.
France were eliminated after the group stage with just one point and one
goal from three matches.
SLAPPER SAIFI
Algeria footballer Rafik Saifi faces a FIFA investigation after a female journalist claimed he slapped her in the aftermath of his side's defeat to USA.
Asma Halimi, who works for Algerian newspaper Competition, told the BBC: "I was waiting for the Algerian players. When Saifi came I just moved away. I felt a hit. I will make a complaint with FIFA and the police."
"Saifi slapped the face of journalist Asma Halifi," BBC World Service's Richard Connelly, who witnessed the attack, said. "She hit him back as a reflex. He then threw a bottle of sports drink which missed and had to be restrained from attacking her again."
The pair have clashed before and it is understood there was a similar incident involving them last year.
ENGLAND BURNT OUT, CLAIMS KAISER
Franz Beckenbauer, a World Cup winner as a coach and a player, believes the England players are "burnt out" following a gruelling Premier League season.
England's failure to win Group C means they will meet Group D winners Germany in the first knockout phase match in Bloemfontein on Sunday afternoon, and Beckenbauer would rather have seen the two sides go head to head later in the competition.
"A game like this should be a semifinal, not a last-16 game," said Beckenbauer in Germany's Bild newspaper. "Stupidly, the English have
slipped up a little by finishing second in their group.'' However, Beckenbauer believes Germany are fresher than
Fabio Capello's side and that this will work in their favour on Sunday.
"The English look a little tired," he said. "There is a good reason for that: the Premier League players have got to play far more games than their Bundesliga colleagues, including two national cup competitions.
' 'Therefore, when it comes to a World Cup or a European Championships, they are burnt out.
"Our players, on the other hand, seem to be in a physically better condition.
"Of course we respect them, but we certainly don't fear them.
"England's first two appearances at the World Cup were paltry, but they improved against Slovenia.''
