If you were to tell me a few years ago that Angola would beat out Nigeria for a spot in the World Cup and then go earn to earn ties against Iran and Mexico, I would have told you that you were crazy.

As the hunt for a new coach continues, Neeskens has said that he wants the job, but has a position waiting for him in Russia working alongside Hiddink.

However, I was totally excited to see Milan Baros (and his abs) play against my hometown boys, but that looks very doubtful at this point.

In other words, Swedes think England should be more like Swedes.
