Robert Huth has finally agreed to join Middlesbrough once German interest in the World Cup is over. Middlesborugh and Chelsea agreed a fee last week, which is undisclosed.
Huth said
"The paperwork hasn’t been completed as yet but I have told Middlesbrough that I will sign the contract when it is ready."
Huth then sent a message to Chelsea fans, via the official Club website saying "
Thank you, thanks for the six years I’ve been here, for the support you gave me and the team."You’ve given me great support. Thank you for standing behind me."
In yesterday's action, Arjen Robben scored a fine breakaway goal for Holland against Serbia & Montenegro from a Van Persie flick and Robben was named Man of the Match. The second Chelsea player to receive this accolade (Frank Lampard was the first against Paraquay). Holland won 1-0.
Mexico overcame Iran 3-1 in an emotional day for Mexico's goalkeeper Sanchez, who had only returned to the Mexico squad late on Saturday night following the death of his father.
In the evening game, Portugal beat their former colony Angola with a solitary goal scored by Pauletta. Carvalho started and played the whole match and Paulo Ferreira was an unused substitute. Ex-Chelsea midfielder Tiago started and Maniche played the last fifteen minutes as sub.
