http://three-nil.blogspot.com/2008/02/real-pleasure.html
Sunday, February 17, 2008. It's like a man-eating tiger when it first tastes human blood. It's wonderful to see how success breeds success and just a case in point that Real Madrid is finally, finally living up to its billing. The richest club on the planet with an even richer history, THIS team has really been going great guns so far this season after uncharacteristic lulls for the past few years.

The first match between defending champions Argentina and Cameroon will forever be etched in my memory! The Italians would also be no pushovers as hosts. Baresi and Co would be looking to emulate Kempes, Passarella (the last winners as hosts in '78, though it would be France again in '98). Had been following Gianluca Vialli in...Group...
