World Cup

[lloydslights]

To get the ball rolling .....

Not long now, before we will have the opportunity to see some high calibre football.

Healthy, sweaty, muscle-rippling young men running around.........Sorry got carried away there.

I've got no idea of the rules  "Offside, onside"???

How many performances will be up for an Academy Award for tripping on shadows;? How many Miracle Recoveries from Injury will we encounter?  How many Ref/Umpire bad decisions will be made?  How many "shirt over the head" celebrations?  Will Les Murray commentate?  Will Mr Frank Lowy attend? Will a ref swallow a whistle?

Does Soccer excite you?  Will you lose sleep?

I am, at this very moment, sitting in a pub that is a World Cup Free Zone. In another hour thankfully, it'll be all over - well except for the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.

They are all tiring.  0-0

Germany appears to be a little more agressive now.

Now for extra time.

Gotzze has gotsa goal.  Looks like a win to Germany.

Well done to both teams.

Germany a WIN.

Average distance run by a mid fielder is 7km in a normal full time game.

Phew.  I'm tired from watching.
