Scoring and cards are way down from last year ... it seems we weren't practicing our striking (or tackling) adequately in the year since the 2005 tourney. Interestingly, there are very few holdovers in the scoring table from last year, with Gaizka Mendieta shooting from a tie for 9th place to 2nd place. Lampard dropped off the map, while Shevchenko picked up some of the slack in his debut for the Blues. Obviously Middlesbrough dominated the nets, with six players in the top thirteen. We're all playing nicer this year too (Gary ...), with eight yellow cards comprising the only run-ins with the refs.
