Nani at the double

He's turning into one helluva winger our boy.  He capped his night with a great assist to Ronaldo, who after 80 some odd minutes finally beat Man Utd target Anders Lindegaard.  Nani's 2nd goal profited from a hilarious mistake by Christian Poulsen and he beat the keeper firing into the top corner from the edge of the box.

In the U21s, England beat Romania.  Welbeck, Cleverley and Smalling all started.  Cleverley was the best player on the pitch but it was Jordan Henderson who stole the show with an absolute belter.  After the Romanian keeper parried a corner, Henderson unleashed a Scholes-esque volley first time that beat the keeper to his right.  However, Romania returned shortly with an equalizer.  Late on, Utd's Chris Smalling finished the game off. 

I honestly hate Internationals but today was enjoyable.  The Ireland-Russia match was great and Italy dropped points to Norn Iron.

Well done, kick on next weekend please.
