FC Basel’s warm-up mats are ridiculously organized but they won’t know it from down there! Anyway, before you write off the Swiss side’s chances completely against powerhouses Man United later today, listen to what coach Thorsten Fink has to say. Sure, he sounds like the ice-cream man who knows he is running out of cones, but in football, there are always waffle, chocolate cones, cups, etc.
“We are not expecting to make the impossible possible but why can’t we do something here tomorrow? Certainly we’ll have the passion, 100 percent commitment and we’ll see what happens when we come out of the 90 minutes on the pitch.”
Also, here’s Manchester United’s Portuguese “Irmãos Para Sempre“ Gang (Brothers “4EVA!”) at training yesterday. They all seemed unhappy about something – it must’ve been those lousy balls Berbatov had been passing all morning (Fabio : “o que é um búlgaro estúpida!”) It could also have been Chicharito’s failure to deliver his promise of Mama Hernandez’s empanados or simply, Valencia’s frustration at being spoken to in Portuguese! Whatever the case, get over it boys.
