hey everyone


well, thanks to the events over the weekend in Paris, isn't this coming Saturday night going to be interesting in our household? with Michele being South African and your humble narrator being English, watching the big final should be quite tasty!

people have already been asking if they can buy tickets to rather watch us watching the game instead of the match itself, would you believe!

so who is the favourite for Saturday night? i am far from being an expert - i mean, i played the game for a while, but do not really follow it, but common sense suggests that this lot will take a great deal of effort to beat!




in particular, this young lad is fantastic. he seems to create something from nothing when he plays, and makes it more entertaining than usual to watch. he was certainly the star of the show on Sunday night. well done lad, and all the best for Saturday night - beating Jonah's record will be something!



however, as said, your humble narrator is English, and so although the lot above are without much doubt the most deserving side to lift the final, i have to be supporting the team of my mother land. i have not supported them at all for the whole tournament, so watch me jinx them in the 11th hour by saying that!





and then, of course, there is the small matter of the man pictured below :





he is surely to be remembered as one of the greats? i mean, in 2003 he was surrounded by an above average set of players and still shone. in 2007, you could argue that England are as far as they are because of him. he will have to have the performance of his career on Saturday to drag England to a victory. that would be a formidable thing to do, but then again, even those of us who do not know all that much about the current game know that he could do it.



well, whoever you will be supporting in it (should you watch), let's just hope for a good game i guess. there's also the novelty factor that whoever reigns on Saturday, James could with ease claim to be a follower of them!!'


be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
