The wallchart is up....

We've started our World Cup campaign.
The first World Cup Have Your Say has just aired and if the tournament is half as lively as that half hour it'll be worth watching.
We were joined by some Costa Rica fans, Maurizio and Juan Carlos, in a cafe in Munich along with some Germans who chatted aimiably to each other although none of the German fans on the programme sounded either a) confident or b) excited! .
There was a nice exchange between Dariusz,a self-confessed miserable Poland fan and Luis from Ecuador who sounded a lot brighter.
Emanuel, a Brazilian fan sounded as confident as you'd expect supporting a team with Ronaldinho in it and there were great contributions from Ivory Coast, Angola, France,Ghana (twice) and the Czech Republic.
The last exchange featured four fans from 4 different countries and Ros asked them who they'd support if their team was knocked out; "England" said three of them. Quite right oo....
of the Times newspaper takes the presenter's chair tomorrow and Sunday.

Right now, I am counting the hours before the start of the World Cup and the first game bewteen Germany and Costa Rica followed by Poland VS Ecaudor.
While I support Costa Rica and Ecuador, I think Germany and Poland will win these games. I am willing to say that the first day may be a surprise.

In a previous message, I mentioned the hard luck of the Moroccans who can’t watch the World Cup on the Moroccan channels RTM and 2M because of ART which charged a high price for the match transmissions. Now after the intercession of King Mohamed VI, they can watch part of it: the opening match, semi final matches, and the final match. The 麻豆官网首页入口 published an article on the website entitled: North Africa world cup fear. In this article there are explanations why north Africans can't watch the 64 World Cup matches on their national TV channels . Now with the last minute change there is just a partial World Cup TV Blackout in Morocco.

I’m fortunate enough to watch the world cup AT work.
I work at Nike World Headquarters and management has been nice enough to purchase
many wide screen televisions and have set up world cup viewing lounges across the campus.
Joga Bonito!!

What the England Coach needs to understand is that Gerard and Lampard can't play both in the mid field, I believed either Gerard or Lampard should should move to a forward position ( I will pick Lampard for that position) leaving then Gerard more freedom in the mid field. Lampard will then be playing as a fake left winger. Only and only we'll then see the true England team. This team is too talented to be playing the way they are playing right now. As you see these two players in the field, you have the feeling that they are taking more time thinking about how to avoid running to each other than thinking about how to bring the ball up and create scorring opportunities for the forwards or any other team mate.
