Seeing as I left my full time job in august last year to be full time carer for my mrs and as such she is now my work and I obviously work at home, plus over the last 4 years I have steadily converted her not only to the Albion but football in general I shall be watching every England game and many more besides!

I miss England V U.S.A as I shall be in the air flying between Heathrow and Durban. Pretty poor planning really but never mind.

f***ing DREADFUL planning given that you are going to the country where the thing is taking place

Yes it was. Crazy. I'm getting hitched this summer but there was NO WAY it was happening during the world cup. Found a cheap date by going for Friday 13th instead!

Whilst I don't know this bloke, I can have sympathy in that his missis and her mother have probably spent every day for the past 18 months planning this day, and that he has been allowed little, if any, input into it despite stumping up 50% of the cost.

Indeed, in my defence I did book the tickets before the draw was made. Still should have organised to go a couple of days before the start mind!
Indeed, so all the more reason for him to have planned this wedding ON ANOTHER DAY.
It all adds up to zero sympathy from me. The stupid TIT.

I am missing England vs USA because a very good mate of mine's wife has organised a fecking surprise 40th fecking birthday treat whereby 50 of us are punting down the fecking Cherwell. Livid.

Do I understand correctly that the party is for your mate? He's going to be well pissed off. I bet he's blisfully unaware that his weekend is being planned for him and is probably looking forward to an evening in front of the telly with a take away and some cans, and getting sucked off by the missis as a birthday treat.
Someone should really say something to her!

The only way I will miss an England game is if we finish second in the group and then play on the Sunday.

I have a 9.00am exam Saturday morning US after the second group game, so will probably have to force myself to revise for at least part of that.
