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.

      Why does the place have no food and smell like s#it recently?

      I was so sick of being ghosted by tradespeople, but contacted Hussein on the advice of a neighbour.  I'm so glad I did. They did a great job, were communicative, started and finished exactly when they said they would and were really tidy and respectful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and great value painter.

      I think for the English, turtles are salt-water (sea) beasts whereas terrapins are fresh water, but I know e.g. Americans use 'turtle' for all chelonians including tortoises.

      They're turtle-y different.  😉 They hibernate, burying themselves under mud or at the bottom of the pond. There have been regular sightings in there (and in Dulwich Park) for years and terrapins can live for 15-20 years in the wild, 30+ years in captivity. They are however an invasive species - whether or not the RSPCA or a local wildlife charity would come out to try and trap / remove them is another matter.
