UK headline writers must be salivating ...........

...... at the prospect of Mark Gonzales finally starting for Liverpool. He looked a true superstar last night, that would grace the premiership and yes, he is VERY fast.

Surely this work permit farce will now be sorted out, in August, Rafael Benitez said that he was "the best player in Chile" and "better than 50% of the premiership". Well, the first statement may be true, the figure on the second should be revised to 99%.

Just how many variations on the "Speedy Gonzales " theme, the spread market makers and tabloid headline writers come up with, are probably endless.

Chile were a class above Ireland and really up for this game. If there are 5 or 6 better teams in South America ( unlikely), then everyone else is in trouble in Germany. I will be coming back to this in the next week or so.

I will post some information about today's matches later, please check back.
