Black hole heaven...
Yes, of course, I just fell into the delicious black hole that is the World Cup.
(I hope this post looks OK, first time composing with a client).
Last Saturday had a barbecue with some mates for the England vs USA match. Tash very kindly brought some hats, flags and horns which ensured that we had a whole load of England regalia to cheer our team on. After lots of food, much fun with SingStar (not surprisingly I was the champ at Copacabana) we all settled for the match.
Of course, typical England, get off to a good start and then bam! A goalkeeping error and yes, we're the world's laughing stock. What is it with our goalies? Although Dave Seaman is a legend there will always be a questionmark over the Ronaldinho 'was it a cross was it a shot' in 2002. Hey, we could even go back to Shilton being outjumped by Maradona.
Paul Robinson and the divet in Croatia, then Scott Carson's debut when he totally missed that shot at Wembley. Although, perhaps he was distracted by the beauty of Niko Kranjcar. That would be my excuse, anyhow.
So we ramble on about the ball, and by God, Heskey's miss. We seem to be missing the point that the USA played well (oh and Carlos Bocanegra why did I never notice your beauty while you were playing at Fulham?) and that very few of our players actually did well.
I suppose we've had the biggest shock today with Spain losing to Switzerland. Being a Rafa fan this is not the Spain v Switzerland outcome I am used to. But there's no disaster yet, a long way to go for all the sides.
Germany looked pretty good though. Please, Wenger, bring Mezut Özil to Arsenal. He was just wonderful.
My other team (the host nation) are currently losing to Uruguay. Come on Bafana Bafana!
The NBA finals are going to Game 7. Well, maybe I can manage 2am on Friday to take in the action. Come on the Celtics!
Back to the football.....
I'm thinking about getting a Twitter account, does anyone else out there tweet?
