A number of Newcastle United players have been in action during the international break with varying degrees of success as the final positions for the World Cup finals were decided. Bruno Guimaraes dominated the headlines as far as Magpies players went as he netted his first Brazil goal in a 4-0 win against Bolivia.
He also put on yet another assist on the international stage which increased his tally to three assists in six appearances. With the World Cup coming quickly into focus, he has done his chances of holding down a starting berth the world of good.
That same enjoyment that the United newbie enjoyed couldn’t be reciprocated elsewhere amongst his club team mates though as Emil Krafth’s World Cup dream came to an end. Sweden fell at the final hurdle in their quest to make it to Qatar as they were beaten 2-0 away from home by Poland who booked their place in the finals at the end of the year with victory.
