World Cup Fever

England played their fouth game in the World Cup today. It was a typical workmanlike performance with just one goal. It is very hard to get excited about England winning when they games are so dull. The only compensation is that when (almost wrote "if" - forty years of hurt never stops me dreaming etc etc) they get knocked out of the competition it won't come as a big disappointment.
If England do stay in I have got all the games in my diary up to the final on 9th July, and amazingly there are no serious clashes. I might have to miss the first few minutes of the semi-final in a meeting but that is it.
Which, I guess, is more than Michael Owen can say...
