Hot Kilbane ready to roast Brazil

SAMBA week, the world champions are in town, and Kevin Kilbane is as chirpy as a canary.

Everton might be skirting dangerously around the relegation area, but it is not for lack of effort on Kilbane’s part. Never one to shy away from toil, if half the Everton side grafted as much as Kilbane, they might climb out of trouble. He has been collecting man-of-the-match plaudits in three of Everton’s past five games.

It could nearly be argued that the winger is going through the richest vein of form in his career.
