SMASH SULK SMASH!!! *

England lose. Fuckers.



* literally - I broke my keyboard

I am SO nervous about tonight's match. We could win it, we really could. Whether we'll actually believe that and play like we can, is another matter!

It's been a pretty good tournament though, there have been some cracking games. I can't see anyone beating Spain, however. They strolled through their game with France. It was all "Yeh, yeh, puny mortals, do your worst." They were just so relaxed about it all! If England can't win it, then I'd want Spain to win it, they've been class all the way through. That said, the Spain v. Portugal semi-final isn't a slam dunk, Portugal have been playing well too. THAT should be a cracking game.

I don't know what I'm going to do when the tournement finishes. I'll be bereft!!

So I stayed up until 4am to watch the Mets rout the Astros 11-3. Unfortunately, I was woken up by a violently upset stomach at 5.30am that kept me awake until 7am when I was sure I wouldn't need to scamper to the bathroom at high speed. *sighs* So my sleep patterns are well and truly screwed. But at least it WAS the weekend and I could snooze until 2pm :) And yes, I feel better now but now have conclusive proof that I cannot eat pizzas with spicy beef or pepperoni on them because they hate me and will get their revenge.

Seeing as my sleep patterns are fubar'd anyway, I'm going to stay up and watch the US Open's Women's Singles Final later on. It's been a good day for sport, so I'm confident my gal, Henin, will win :) Yesterday's semi-final, against Venus Williams, was one of the best tennis matches I've seen for many a year. I broke into spontaneous cheering and applause several times. Hee!

As for today, well England beat India to win the ODI series 4-3. Our rugby team beat the USA to win their first game in the Rugby World Cup. And the football team is currently spanking Israel 3-0 in our must win Euro Championships qualifier.

And in domestic news, my beloved Leeds Utd, hit with a 15 point penalty before the season started won their fifth straight game today to reach the grand points total of zero. I'm so proud of 'em. Two more wins would see us off the bottom of the table *beams*. And annoyingly, without the points penalty, we'd be top of the League One table right now. But never mind, these days with Leeds, I take the victories as we get 'em!

Right, off to watch the baseball. Go Mets! Ah luvs my weekends! *beams like a spotlamp*
