Oh well. That’s it for another four years: England bundled out of the World Cup by the hated Germans, a wrongly disallowed goal, the likelihood of another managerial vacancy before too long, more soul searching for the Fourth Estate to indulge in for, oh, another year or two, and the realisation that we are no nearer to emulating the Class of ’66.
Allied to this is another realisation, and that is the ineffectiveness of the huge number of Ingerlundflags displayed all over the place, whether from cars, windows, rooftops, or wherever. As I mentioned before, every major England event beings more of these, and every time, they have no beneficial effect. At least the German equivalent seems to be working for their team.
The cricket team are still playing, though. And they’re two-nil up in the ODI series.

I was genuinely surprised to see the number of Ozflags (oddly, not the national flag, but the dedicated football team green-and-yellow flag) flown for the World Cup, given that football's about the number 5 game here after both rugbies, Aussie Rules and cricket. But they didn't do much good either...
Good to hear from you John. Might be an idea to keep your head down for a day or two - England won the ODI (OK, just) and therefore the series.
So at least we can beat someone at something ...
