There was a decent football game yesterday. However, it involved a round ball and was in White Hart Lane, not Dolphin Stadium. Manchester United thrashed Tottenham in 45 minutes of 2nd half superiority. During the first, the Red Devils looked as if their minds were on other things than good football, but still played well enough to have scored goals. CRon brought them on top with a penalty kick converted to the farthest point left possible. Some say he dived to earn it, and he may have. But it was only just as the referee ignored Henrik Larsson clearly being brought down in the box earlier.
After some discussions at the half with SAF, the Red Devils came out and played as if they had just learned that Chelsea was a bare 3 points behind them in the table. As easy as you can say Matt Busby, they'd slotted 3 more in the back of the net. The final goal was an absolute beauty. With Ryan Giggs running behind the defense to catch up to a Louis Saha through ball. Very nice work, indeed.
As close as this game looked in the early going, Manchester United showed that Tottenham, at the least, is not that close in quality to SAF's boys. That may apply to the rest of the league, as well.
