Photos of the Day: Read the Manager Emotion

By: Laurie | July 22nd, 2008

The European season is creaking back into gear. A friendly here, an InterToto Cup match there. We’re even seeing some early round Champions League qualifiers. What does this mean?

It means it’s once again time to play the “Read the Manager Emotion” game!

Using only the clues from body language, facial expressions and hand gestures, tell us what’s going on in the match.

First up? Peter Nicolas of the Welsh club Llanelli.

Next? Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. The occasion? A friendly with Haladas in Szombathely, Hungary.

And finally, Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez at Hertha Berlin. Doesn’t he look happy?
