Congratulations to Italy on winning the World Cup!!
As an arm chair supporter I have to say that this years cup was the best I’ve ever seen – with the usual German efficiency making sure everything ran like clockwork. Heck, even the Germans looked like they were having a good time.
And with all the terrible things happening around the world it was wonderful to see fans from every country getting along so well. Even the legions of English fans appeared to make a few new friends along the way with their mad costumes and fanatical support. It’s just a pity that our politicians can’t learn something from all of this.
Highlights
- English fans not shaming the nation
- Joe Cole’s wonder goal
- African nations giving a hint of just what they can do
- BBC’s exemplary television coverage
Disappointments
- Usual poor performance from England
- Scotland’s lack of support (it won’t be forgotten!)
- Cheats and those perpetual divers
- ITV’s awful television coverage
At least normal service can now be resumed before the football season restarts and the qualifiers for the European championships start.
