Beckhams hair looked nice, Owen was rubbish, as was the rest of the team. Against T&T, 2 late goals secred qualfication into the second round. Owen was rubbish. Rooney came on late on in the game which seemed to give the team a bit more of a creative spark and Lennon impressed. Beckham's hair looked nice. Last night, against Sweden, J. Cole scored an absolute scorcher of a goal and Gerrad got a second. A. Cole was busy being a bit bonkers when England conceded a late equaliser. Owen fell over and is now set to miss the rest of the tournament. Beckham's hair looked nice. I do question the idea of bringing 2 unfit strikers to a Coupe de Monde, but now with one crippled the options are looking limited. Still, Facing Equador in the second round is better than facing Germany, one supposes, and maybe the team will live up to the hype this time.

Somewhat bizarrely, he went to the same secondary school as one of my ex-girlfriends. J Cole has been very impressive so far, as has Lampard. I remember a few years back, there was a documentary series about footballers (I think ian Ridley of the Observer did it) and Lmpard was on it. he seemed to be quite nice bloke, and quite self deprecating at times. But anyways. Downing could be an option, though.

Obvioulsy I won't be watching any football for another 4 years, but no point pretending it's not happening. Anyway, supporting England would be torture - you know what'll happen. They'll get through to the last 16 or so by playing fairly un-inspiringly and then loose on penalties. Isn't that what usually happens!

England have a chance to get to the semis which still makes for good watching. What makes watching exciting is the knowledge that they have great players who can pull it off, but often don't. Then sometimes, they pull a corking performance out of the bag.

However... I have to admit that I had a spare couple of hours last night and ended up sitting down with my dad - who has never been remotely interested in football either - to watch England V Sweden and we both surprised ourselves by ooohhing and aaahing and literally jumping off the sofa when J Cole plugged that first goal. It's actually quite exciting isn't it? Damn!
