WORLD CUP MENTALISTS#1


As an Arsenal Fan, I've watched Jens Lehmann play plenty of times, and I can assure you he is several holes short of a full net.
It's fantastic that he's been given the nod ahead of that walking muppet Oliver Kahn in the German net. That way we get to see him in all his mental glory.
Don't get me wrong, Lehmann is a great keeper, and anyone thinking that some of his erratic behaviour means he's unreliable should think again.
But he does deliberately bump attackers, makes the most of any physical contact against him, and runs about like a demented geography teacher in a gym kit most of the time.
He's trod on people's toes, threw balls in their faces, and has the best chance of winning the staring competition in the tunnel, even if it's with a team mate.
He is, on the pitch, the world's funniest unfunny man, and completely, utterly, mental.
What a star.
