Remember kids, studying pays off

The semi-final between Holland and Argentina wasn’t quite as exciting as the Germany vs Brazil one but JOE can’t complain, not every game ends in 8 goals and an absolute humiliation.

Argentinian TV have now released footage of Romero reading notes on every Dutch penalty taker before their kick. Where did he keep this vital information? Shoved down his shorts of course. Take a look…

JOE is always thoroughly prepared for every situation on the pitch but after seeing this we will be keeping a few notes down our jocks just in case.
