Democrats Censure Peter Cech for Poor Goalkeeping

BANGKOK – The opposition Democratic Party widened their censure targets yesterday to include non-members of the ruling party, including underperforming international footballers involved in the UEFA Euro 2008 Tournament in Switzerland and Austria. During emotional and heated testimony, MP Trairong Suwankhiri singled out the performance of Czech Republic national goalkeeper Peter Cech, whose handling error in last weeks’ quarter-final match against Turkey led to the ouster of the favored side. “His international performance continues to pale in comparison to his work at (club) Chelsea,” Trairong said. “I declare that he is unfit to serve the national team.” Rumors that Trairong had wagered large amounts of money on a Czech-Spain final were firmly denied.
