I'm no football fan, but one can't help but notice that there has been a bit of an important tournament going on just lately. I did watch the last few minutes of the England/Portugal match, and I have to admit it was marginally exciting (although not as much as the proceeding episode of Dr Wassisname). Bit of a shame that England got knocked out, but ahh well, never mind eh? They did get to the quarter final of the World Cup. Is it just me, or is that not pretty good? Why is Sven apologising all over the front of The Metro? Why is Beckham quitting as England Captain? Why are people bawling their eyes out in disappointment at not winning something no one really expected them to win? It's beyond me¦

yan, exactly who are you calling Mongols, and why are you using such a derogatory term?

I think he meant mongrels. England actually rose above their FIFA rankings. We're ranked 10th in the world but got to the last eight. So at that rate England will win the World Cup in 2022. But I'm pleased that Terry Venables is involved, I hope he leans on Steve McLaren to get England to play in a more adventurous style. He said that England seemed to be playing as if they were shackled. And he did do very well in 1996 which is the equivalent of the World cup. The semi-finalists this week are European.

Stay away from my city walls, you god damn Mongolians. Brazil - stale. As much as I hate France, Domenech was right to keep the faith with Zidane. Also, Franck Ribery has come onto a game, I was apprehensive about him replacing Ludovic Giuly in the squad.
