Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Football every day for a month, *sighs contentedly* Well ok, not quite every day at the later stages but for the first couple of weeks it's a football fan's paradise. The chance to see different countries and different players all (theoretically) at the top of their game, a show case for the sport.

Which, presumably, is why England really stunk this afternoon - which, to be fair, is par for the course, as we never start these tournaments well. At least this time we stunk but still managed to win. Unlike poor old Sweden, who couldn't manage to beat a 10 man Trinidad and Tobago, a team from an archipelagic state so small, it fits into Sweden about 82 times. (That isn't an exaggeration, btw, I actually checked this out). So overall, I'm not going to wail too much but damn, we'd better play a hellava lot better that that the next time I watch :P

Course, now all the grumbling is starting. "There's nothing but football! Whine Whine!" To which I reply "There there, it only happens once every four years and so let us footie fans have our summer of fun". Course, when it's wall to wall sports (cricket, Wimbledon and the World Cup, non-sports fans will have my total sympathy, even though I like watching two out of three of those. The sooner we move to a digital TV country so that the sports can be relegated from the main channels to specialist channels, the better. Then the BBC and ITV and others can pacify the non-sports people with their usual crap programming. :)

In the meantime - YAY!! FOOTBALL!! *does the happy Mitchy boogie*

Hmm, I need a World Cup icon......
