Sorry for not writing frequently lately but I have been a bit busy of late. Anyway, it seems like a good week in general for Man Utd's internationals. Ferdinand was outstanding alongside Campbell as England beat Wales and Azerbaijan. Keano helped the Republic of Ireland ease to a 2-0 win over the Faroe Islands and also a solid draw with France.
Nistelrooy returned from suspension to fire holland to a 3-1 win over Finland, who had drawn with Macedonia in their previous match, whilst Ronaldo produced another sparkling performance (and 2 goals) to help Portugal to a 7-1 thrashing of Russia following their embarassing draw with Liechenstein. However, Fletcher was unable to make an impression as Scotland succumbed to a 1-0 defeat by Norway and a 1-1 draw with lowly Moldova.
It was unfortunate that Giggs wasn't able to make the starting lineup for Wales against Poland as I am convinced he would have made the difference (it was a fantastic game of football by the way!). It really is a great shame that such a magnificent player has never been able to grace an international tournament, and it is now looking likely (barring a miracle) that England and Poland will occupy the top two slots.
