They did a feature from that match at half time during the Paraguay game on Saturday. Eusebio was immense.

Goodision looks the same today as it did 34 years ago.

Capello gets all hypocritical, telling Italian TV - "I don't understand why he didn't speak with me, I read yesterday that John Terry said this. I don't understand why he didn't speak with me. When you speak you have to speak privately and not with you (the media)."

From The Guardian - According to our soon-to-be-published Paper View, since 1982, England have won 62% of all World Cup games shown on the BBC, but just 30% of those broadcast by ITV. Tomorrow's England v Slovenia game: on the Beeb.


When I mentioned this earlier I was joking.

My brother has lucked out - a charity he's worked hard for before asked him to look after 100 HIV affected African kids by escorting them to 8 games at the World Cup if he could cover his flight across. He's been working hard, wearing his kilt to most games and blogging his once in a lifetime experience here.


He got allocated Bloemfontein as base and so has had the various joys of Greece vs Nigeria and soon, Honduras vs the Swiss. But today it's perhaps the biggest group game at that venue as the home nation take on the bickering frogs - and it should be a good game considering the situation....


It's also where England will play Germany in Second round if they come runner up in Group C,although perhaps might want to take the tartan skirt off for that one!

If Spain beat Chile on Friday night they will finish ahead of Chile regardless of scoreline. Spain will top the group unless the Swiss can win by a bigger margin than the Spanish come Friday night.


If both the Swiss and Spain win 1-0 on Friday night, that would leave Chile and Switzerland in joint second place with the same goal difference of +1. I believe that Chile would progress in second place due to their head to head meeting with Switzerland which they won.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
