A for Arsenal, A for Aston Villa, E for Emirates


3 arsenal players were involved yesterday at the World Cup as Holland took on Argentina and the Ivorians played their last match of this World Cup against Serbia and Montenegro.

The match between the dutch and the argentines was expected to be the more interesting one out of the two but it turned out to be otherwise. Instead Ivory coast came from two goals behind to defeat S & M 3 - 2 and recorded their first victory in the tournament with a gripping performance. Emanuel Eboue played a full 90 minutes but Kolo Toure was an unused sub. Both the teams had crashed out already. So Toure and Eboue now head home. They played well their part and
Toure felt that it was a difficult group to be in for the Ivorians:
It was a great match, a really exciting one, and we proved that we’ve got some great players. We found ourselves in a really tough group with some big teams, which is why we’re not that disappointed – not that we’re totally happy either. In any case, this win was a good one for our fans.
In the other match RVP played for 67 minutes and was then substituted. Neither sides manged to scoe and it was a stalemate.

Arsenal is involved today too.. as Rosicky's Czechs are to clas with the Italians today. It would be a thrilling game as both the sides need a win to assure some sort of safety to move to the next round. Hoping that Rosicky gets some tonight to make the Czechs and us gooners pround.
