not a bad night in my opinion. Eidur nets 2 in a 3-0 win, and just misses his hat trick by missing a penalty in the 90th minute. Dessa and Gallas play the full 90 of a clean sheet vs Malta. I hope they keep up this form on Saturday. Zenden started vs Austria but didn't do much, Jimmy only played 10 minutes. Lampard did not play. Wales beat Italy - I must root against the Italians if they are foolish enough to have Panucci in the starting lineup.
Just what we needed - more Stanic on the left Boudewijn Zenden is facing a spell on the sidelines after picking up an ankle injury during Holland's Euro 2004 qualifier against Austria. Zenden limped out of the 3-0 win in Vienna in the 70th minute and it is not looking good for the Chelsea flyer. "Nothing is broken and I also think nothing is torn off,'' Zenden said. "But I have lots of pain and can hardly stand on the foot. I'm afraid I will be out for Chelsea for a few weeks.'' Chelsea have an away match at Manchester City on Saturday before facing West Bromwich Albion at home the following weekend.
