World Cup and all that.....

Well, the World Cup is off to a start in South Africa and it seems to be shown on all British TV channels.

Three matches per day and so far I've watched them all. There's not a lot to say about the matches, pretty dull and boring except for Germany who have come out of the traps firing on all cylinders. Most of the teams seem to be frightened to lose while the competion is in the league stages. Games will probably improve in the knock out stages when teams have to play to win to advance.

Everywhere here, Macclesfield, is decorated with the flag of St. George and with red and white bunting. The majority of cars are decorated with St. George mini flags on their windows. Why? Don't ask. Since 1966 the English players and management have not been up to standard. I suppose it is in the English nature to support lost causes and the World Cup gives us the opportunity to show this.

I do like the World Cup though as it gives me the opportunity to watch the best players, not all though, and the best teams in the world.

Aw well, suppose I had best give them a shout.

C'mon England!!

Ingerland, Ingerland, Ingerlaaaaaand!!!
