Watched the football, England v… oh God, I swear I'm not doing this for comedy effect but I have really forgotten who they were playing. As I feel I keep having to justify, I'm not that into football but like to clap along during the world cup and that other tournament where Gazza always cries. Anyway, as usual England where pretty rubbish, well, not rubbish, that's not fair as they did win in the end but it has to be said they don't make it easier for themselves. Of course the only way they could make it easier is by playing better and I'm afraid that seems to be beyond their capabilities. Somebody on the radio was saying a Germany v England final is feasible due to the way the matches have been drawn; lots of excitable waffling about it being a rematch after 40yrs or something. The only thing they don't mention is the feasibility study kind of goes out the window when you realise the England team are just a bit poo. But, a win is a win (as my friend used to say on his Hook a Duck stall a Hull Fair) and David Beckham scored the winning goal and there were many shots of his wife (the one that used to be in The Spice Girls and has teeth that point backwards like a snake) as she jumped about and hugged her son in such a fashion that it looked as though her spindly arms might break. The player called Joe Cole seems to be shrinking, getting progressively shorter in each game, is it the stress or do they keep leaving him out in the rain at night? The ref looked very greasy and suspicious (he speaks very highly of me apparently).
