Ended 2-1 to England, although Tunisia committed two very clear penalties which the referee didn't spot. And countless knock on's and forward passes lazy bastards can't even be bothered to bend down to pick up the ball.

Heathrow have a plane on standby to pick up the England squad. The FA get a discount if they come back within a week. I'd make them come back by bicycle. Dressed in lycra

They were experimenting with different power plants, Volga cars having fairly primitive engines at the time. It's always fascinating to see places I've been to on TV in a different context. Sadly I never got to Volgagrad which I would have liked to have seen although I have been to Krasnodar, where some of the games are being played, which is only a hundred or so miles away. I find the rover V8 engines very primitive as well!! In fact I would go as far as downright crap would be a better description

Of course they are primitive, they have been around since the 60's. To call them crap is just sheer ignorance of the engine. Reliable, adaptable and a brilliant engine for power tuning. Nothing like today's electronic wizardry, but at least a competent person could fix it when it stopped. Having owned many of them in various guises, I never once had one break down.

I can't remember what engines they were at this remove, but they wouldn't have been the V8, not to fit to a Volga which was a medium sized saloon. More likely engines from the 600 series.

Well, that's the Argies gone. Worst defence since Port Stanley.

Turning out to be a decent world cup so far, fingers crossed we get the result we want on Sunday.
Only issue for me is the days/time of the England matches, the last match v Belgium is good as i have a long weekend booked so can watch on the boat, or might just go over the greyhound and watch it.

We were having a cheeky beer in the Waterfront at Leigh when the Argentina v Croatia game started.
I contemplated watching the whole game.....and then a Croatian player stood on the toe of an Argentinian.
Queue rolling around in agony, grimacing, anguish etc. and I feared a full leg amputation would be required.
Within seconds of receiving a free kick, the 'injured' player is back running.
We left.
Too nice a day to be inside watching the big jessies.
