Matchday 2 - Report from Sydney

Yes the England game was a bit of a let down after a good start. I thought after the deflected goal and the attacking moves that followed that we might be on to a good score here, but alas no.

Oohh that Mexican ref. He (Dracula) got a few swear words amogst our group. I was particularly annoyed by the way Peter Crouch would get penalised for anything like scratching his arse. I mean come on, he's a HUGE lad, he's going to knock the other players now and again but he wasn't doing anything wrong. Certainly not deserving of the number of decisions against him.

We had a lovely meal by the way, baked veggies with goat's cheese served in a pumpkin followed by Mandy's golden syrup steamed pudding. Culinary triumph's all round.

Yes, Skype skype skype...

We drove home and watched 10 minutes of the Sweden game then decided to go to sleep. A wise move. Great to see T&T get a World Cup point, and very good for us now that we're firmly on top of the table. Although the T&T game this week won't necessarily be the walkover we first thought.

Didn't watch the Argentina game. I was in bed dreaming of being pulled over for drink-driving for some reason.

Next big game over here now is Australia v Japan tomorrow at 11pm. The TV and papers are full of beaming Socceroos.

Come on Rooney, get off that bench and give us some England goals.
