blinder = great game, as in a player's having a blinder of a game (at least that's how it was explained to me)
Sixes and sevens, pear shaped, and shambolic - three different sayings that mean essentially the same thing: complete disarray, unorganized, overmatched (usually in reference to defense)
talisman is a good one too - Something producing apparently magical or miraculous effects. Often in soccer a player is deemed a talisman for the team.
