"Luyindula hand against, lonely, the attacker is doing one in Paris and enters the surface right side, but hit the goalkeeper away for a corner. On it, Bahebeck back of the head but the ball just flirting with the post Ankergren was beaten"
C'est magnifique mais c'est pas Lua Lua.
Does the article say that the 'poo' would land on the away fans? Because that makes it seem like OUR joke. Otherwise it looks like a joke played on us.
Though the first goal will be great, I think seeing the team run out would be 'the moment' for me. Knowing we're finally there, after everything.
Not that I'll be there, though. Boo.
I'll echo the comments about England and the last World Cup.
I used to care, now I don't. There was nothing – nothing – there to feel was worthy of your support. I'm not some head-in-the-clouds muppet who thinks we have a divine right to do well, or that we will even ever win the thing again...
The bit I don't like in Carragher's interview is the recurring whine that the players were "bored" in South Africa. Like playing for your country in a World Cup is the definition of tedium, and having to stay in a 5-star hotel is the pits.
It's another Ashley Giles moment. (England's left-arm spin bowler, who ordered some commemorative mugs for his benefit season. They were supposed to say "King of Spin" but came back as "King of Spain", the manufacturers presumably not knowing their A's from their elbow.)
I come from down in the valley
where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
when she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh...
Good shot. Funny how even now I still get a little bit anxious about any that make it look the stadium is, well, maybe, umm, just a little bit 'in the countryside'. Having spent so long banging NIMBYs' heads over the fact it ISN'T AN AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY...
