And Now For a Real Sport
Today was the draw for the World Cup Finals being held in Germany next year. England are in Group B with Paraguay, Trinidad & Tobago and Sweden. Of course all games at this level are difficult (and any game involving England is ten times more difficult than it needs to be) but one would expect us to have a very good chance of progressing to the next round. You can see the rest of the groups here at the BBC.
Some Animals For Ya
Enough ranting and moaning, here are a couple of pictures from a trip I took with my Dad to Marwell Zoo last month; to see all of them go to this Flickr photo set.
It’s England Week!
Don’t know why but Sunday when I was packing my bag for the week I decided that I would wear an England sport shirt to the office each day. Unfortunately I only have 4 such shirts so I either need to wear one twice or fail to show up for work one day this week.
Premiership Mayhem
One more game left in the Premiership league and, most likely, the last one for a while for my home team, Southampton. As this analysis by the BBC shows, it doesn’t look good for the Saints. But I caught some of the game with Crystal Palace and, really, they are pretty crap this season and probably deserve it. And Portsmouth won’t be trying to do us any favours – they’ll probably field a team of boys and farm animals in order to lose and thereby condemn their south coast rivals.
