Yep, Ronaldinho got left out of Brazils 23 man squad, hoping Bamba will be in Ivory Coasts one.

"But some solid outings for Wigan by Steve Gohouri in recent weeks sees him recalled to the squad after he missed out on the Nations Cup in Angola."


Now, not that I'm suggesting that Gohouri alone was responsible ( lord help the player who partners Gary Caldwell in defence :dizzy: ) but:

Conceding 2 at home to Arsenal
Conceding 2 at home to Hull and booked
Conceding 3 away to West Ham
Conceding 8 away to Chelsea and booked

Hardly "solid" form.

However, well done Big Sunshine On Leith :top marks

I was chuffed enough tonight that we got a mention in the commentary of Fulham v Atletico; to be hearing "Hibernian's Sol Bamba" during the World Cup Finals would be excellent :thumbsup:

Yer a Top Man, Big Sol :not worth
