Rovers-update and WC-update

Rovers today signed their 8th player of the week! As I've said before, Kevin Ellison and Robbie Stockdale was the first two players to be brought in... John Mullin and Paul McLaren (both from Rotherham), Goalie Gavin Ward (Preston), defender Shane Sheriff (Aarhus) and striker Gareth Taylor was added to the squad in the closing stages of the week. In addition to this, Jason McAteer was rewarded with another year as a player-coach and will continue to be a part of the staff, which now includes manager Ronnie Moore and ass.mgr John Breckin.
I think Moore has done well so far with the signings. Of course I haven't seen them in action yet, but I thin kthey will crop well with the rest if the squad, as they turned up for pre-season training today.

So Get Fit Rovers!

The world cup has drawn the following teams togehter;
Germany vs Argentina
England vs Portugal
Italy vs Ukraine
France - Brazil

The matches starts tomorrow and I hope that England will make it to the last four, at least!
Engerland, engerland, engerland!

Welcome to my footballworld!

The summer is usually a boring part of the year, when it comes to football. The season in England is finished, even the footballseason in Norway has a break. But of course this year, in fact every 4th year, is an exception. The World Cup is here. And today round two starts! 8 matches in the coming round two.

Germany-Sweden
Argentina-Mexico
England-Equador
Portugal-The Netherlands
Italy-Australia
Switzerland-Ukraine
Brasil-Ghana
Spain-France

It will certainly be some amazing days...


I do also want to mention that Ronnie Moore has brought in his first players to Tranmere. Former Middlesborough player Robbie Stockdale and Kevin Ellison. Hope they will become real assets for the club.
