Peter Schmeichel, I hadn't realised, speaks English with a Midlands accent - as well he should, having played for Man United so long. But still, it's funny to hear the mixture of Danish and Manchester.
The Associated Press was talking to the French players about the (Mexican) referee for the France-Uraguay game today. Emmanuel Petit: "A lot of us speak Spanish, and [the umpire] wasn't partial to the Uraguayans". Which proves one of the less appreciated advantages of having a team that has players in all the major European leagues: no matter what language the referee speaks, someone in your team speaks it as well.
