The tumbleweed edition started yesterday @ 17:50 never stood a chance.

Today will be different.

No matches. Last rest day. U r a gay v Germ an' eh? play-off tomoz.

But your mission today (and inspired by something in yesterday's scratty thread), should you choose to acept it, is to assign a band or artist to each team, and give your reasoning if you can be arsed.

From yesterday:
Spain - "platinum-selling dinner party 'Coldplay Football'" (The Grauniad via harru) or "Steely Dan football, without the sense of irony" (acoleuthic)
Netherlands - "1st Impressions Of Earth-era Strokes" (harru, again)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

How about... France - Reformed Sex Pistols - Arse of a manager, shambolic underperformers living on former glories, kicked out the underused Nicolas Anelka/Glen Matlock subsequently accepted back into the fold, can't really go the distance these days?
