Football und Rugby

So, the England football team messed up in Moscow by losing the vital qualifier 2-1 to Russia who, I'm sure, couldn't believe their good fortune in seeing the England players lose it and concede two goals in quick succession. The hapless England goalkeeper is a liability and should be replaced with someone with more confidence and skills. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any such accomplished keeper in England so we're probably stuck with him. Whether we qualify for next year's tournament is now in the hands of the gods. We would be very lucky indeed to scrape through now, having lost this crucial match.

Yet, there is always the rugby and the team is playing South-Africa tomorrow in the final of the World Championships. This could be another classic and I will certainly be watching it. Of course, the French have chosen this weekend for a rather comprehensive transport strike. Would they have if France were playing the final? Hmmm...
