World Cup 2010 paper view: German press goads the ecstatic Dutch
While Dutch newspapers are predictably cock-a-hoop this morning about developments in South Africa – "FINALE!", matter-of-facts the best-selling De Telegraaf on their front page – headline of the day comes from German tabloid Bild, who greet Holland's semi-final victory over Uruguay with "Sonntag sehen wir uns" – "We'll see you on Sunday" – something a few Spaniards might disagree with, you'd have thought. Before we continue, here's something interesting we spotted in a Dutch newspaper: video evidence that Giovanni Van Bronkhorst's goal wasn't a once-in-a-lifetime fluke (just compare this , scored last night, with this uncannily similar goal from January. Back in Blighty, The Sun might come to regret using up "The Dam Busters", "Screamin' Lord Dutch" and "Hol Lot of Loving" if the Oranje are celebrating come Sunday. They also reckon that Manchester United are lining up a £35m bid for Wesley Sneijder , otherwise known as "the new Paul Scholes". Also preparing to snap up a World Cup star is Arsène Wenger, who is homing in on £20m Mezut "Wizard of" Ozil as he prepares for Cesc Fàbregas's potential departure to Barcelona. While he's in Germany the Arsenal manager will also have £10m defender Serdar Tasci from Stuttgart, previously a Tottenham target. Fabio Capello was so angry about England's display in their pre-tournament friendly with Platinum All Stars, writes The Mirror, that he smashed a glass tray. But who puts a glass tray in a dressing-room full of footballers? And if they have to, surely they'd take some preventative measures to make sure it doesn't fall into the clutches of an irate manager? Who owns a glass tray anyway? Aren't they a bit impractical? We want answers. Everton's Dan Gosling has walked out of the club for nothing under some legal loophole that World Cup Paper View doesn't really understand, but related to the club failing to put a contract offer in writing. The £4m-rated midfielder could now join Sunderland, Newcastle or West Ham for nothing. Liverpool want Twente's £13m Costa Rica winger Bryan Ruiz . Aston Villa are holding on for £30m before they let Manchester City have James Milner, whereupon they'll buy Scott Parker from West Ham. The Hammers will bolster their squad with 30-year-old defender Matteo Contini from Napoli and François Clerc fron Lyon. Unlikely photo-call of the day, from The Star: "Sir Alex Ferguson took time out from Manchester United's return to pre-season training to welcome a group of Kwakwaka-Wakw Canadian Indians from Vancouver, who were in Salford to repair a totem pole." A) Which came first, the Canadian Indians or the Shakira-voiced World Cup anthem ? B) Salford? Totem pole? We want answers.
