Football Update


England National Team

We can now all exhale, because England has won both of thier World Cup qualifying games this week! Wayne Rooney has officially ended his international goal slump with four goals in the past two games. Even my favorite defender Ferdinand put a header in the back of the net. I’m impressed with the young Arsenal player Walcott whose energy seems boundless and his talent promising. He is also very attractive, but not like the Adonis Ronaldo. Subsequently these wins put England in an advantageous position for the forthcoming World Cup. We can only pray they will relive their World Cup glory of ’66. As the announcer said during the Kazakhstan game “Being an English supporter is not always easy, but with patience it is all worth it”.



Pub Experience

To support England I went to a pub in Covington Garden to watch one of the matches. It was crowded with old men, young men in suits, a smattering of women and all sat with a beer in hand, eyes glued to the television and mouths moving constantly. My satisfaction was complete when we celebrated together after each goal. Smoke, British men, football, beer…can you think of a better place? I cannot.
