I got my first bites of the summer. Ten of them to be exact. I hate mosquitoes. They are only on my right side because of the protection of the citronella thing guarding my left side.
I think I may have shown a bit too much faith in Ukraine qualifying for the next round. 4-0 to Spain. Oh dear. I watched the second of the Tunisia-Saudi Arabia game at lunch time today. I had Tunisia winning that. Dammit. Incidently the American commentators called it Tunisya. Also I’m fairly sure that Paraguay is not pronounced with a ‘k’ sound.
Other things annoying about ESPN’s coverage of the World Cup.
-They list match results W-L-T not W-D-L throwing off any quick glance at a table. And it’s a draw, not a tie!
-They talk about goals being points. No really they do. Points are the result of the match, three for a win, one for a draw, not what you score in a match.
-Adverts and telling us who the programme is presented by.
So in conclusion the presenter might say something like this:
(Imagine a loud American cheesey voice) ‘Welcome to the FIFA Soccer World Cup presented by A-dee-das. Today’s game is Parakauy versus Tunisya. Parakuay have got to score a few points in this game, a tie isn't enough for them. And later we have an interview with England’s Michael Beckham. But we’ll be back after the commercials.'
I suppose I shouldn’t complain too much, at least now I can watch the games in English.
We’re on the slippery slope towards the conference, time is running out and we have an awful lot of work to do. That boring for you to hear, but it goes some to explaining why my blogs might be MIA (missing in action) over the next few weeks. I’ll do my best to carry on writing at home but sometimes life stuff gets in the way.
Come on Ukraine! You can do it, you can still qualify!!
