The thing I hate about the World Cup isn't the ongoing footie madness in England - it's the assumption that if you don't give a shit about England winning or not, you're not a patriot. Oh fuck off. And it looks like they made it through by the skin of their teeth, as ever.
I'm more interested in Ghana and Australia's upcoming matches.

Date: 2006-06-26 07:39 pm (UTC)On the other hand, when Costa Rica started the world cup we did get two hours off work and drank cacique (local rum) and coke!
Also, we did manage to get a three hour lunch hour one day when england were playing, so I have kinda turned into a temporary fan!
Miss you ...
