Little guessing game to kick off the weekend.

The question is: what do Roberto Baggio, Claude Makelele, Jermaine Jenas and Anton Ferdinand have in common?


No, it's not fantastic finishing.





Unfortunately, it's not good tackling either (as much as some people would love this to be true)






And it most definitely isn't a place in the list of top 100 footballers of the recent 20 years.



 

They were all born on 18 February! What a fact, just had to share this with everyone.



Now, onto yesterday's tips: 

Reading v Burnley 1
Fiorentina v Napoli X
Inter Milan v Bologna 1:1 [now I'm fairly certain Inter are throwing games]
Heerenveen v NAC Breda 1
FC Zwolle v MVV Maastricht over 2,5 goals
FC Volendam v Willem II Tilburg over 2,5 goals
ŁKS v Polonia Warszawa 2

4/7... Fiorentina's recent form deceived me into thinking they're past their crisis. Inter v Bologna game doesn't require a commentary and if Zwolle can be held to a draw by Maastricht then their stay in the Eredivisie will be VERY shortl-lived.

Before embarking on another batch of tips, check out this fantastic goal by Andre Santos scored in the 88th minute of the Legia v Sporting game in Europa League this Thursday:

Golaco, as the Brazilians say!
