Rosicky scores double, Robin and Robben !


What a terrific match yesterday for
Rosicky who blasted not one but two past the Americans and helped the Czechs cruise past with a 3-0 victory over USA.

When the Czechs were already leading 1-0, Rosicky made it 2-0 in the 36’ minute when he let go a swerving kick from a whole 30 yards that the American keeper Kasey Keller couldn’t do anything about but only dive in despair. Spectacular!!

There was more to come from him. Midway in the second half his right footed shot struck the crossbar. And then in the 76’ minute, after receiving a through pass from Nedved, the Czech raced through the centre and when in the area he very composedly clipped the ball into the net to seal the match in style and beauty.

Both the goals were executed wonderfully and were a joy to watch and deservingly Rosicky was declared the Man of the Match . Whoa!! What a Gunner! What a signing! Way to go, Way to go Arsenal!

What a start he has got for himself in the World Cup and this should go a long way to boost his confidence further, not that he wasn’t confident but now when he has already struck two in the opener Tomas must be rearing to go. It’s worthwhile to mention here that the Czechs own their qualification to Rosicky as had it not been for Rosicky’s goal against Norway in the playoffs the Czechs wouldn’t have been able to make it to Germany in the first place.In Tomas, Wenger surely has signed a ‘high calibre’ player as he had promised and there is more to come as we know that Rosicky will only get better and more lethal under Wenger’s management.

It’s a delight that Wenger got his hands on him before the world cup and I can’t wait to watch him in action for Arsenal.

Robin Van Persie has a point here for Robben!

Next action involving Arsenal players if the fixture Between Brazil Vs Croatia wherein Gilberto Silva can play and theres the match between France and Switzerland where Senderos will have to try to defend none other than his club captain Thierry Henry. Thats got to be interesting as well.
