Welcome to my Life

Well we are, I don’t know how but we are. Got up my local at 5.15pm and got my face painted with an England flag that covered my whole face and then I got a 4 pint jug in all for myself. The first half of the Sweden match and it looked like we played some football. With less then a minute on the clock and Owen was stretchered off and has now out for 6 months which leaves Crouch and an unplayed inexperienced Theo. England played the best we have seen them in this tournament within the first 45 minutes. Joe Cole played very well scoring England’s first goal after 34 minutes by a lob from 35 yards out. After the first half I thought that we were back but when they came out for the second half they looked like a different team. I don’t know what Sven says to them at half time but it wasn’t inspirational.
Our defence looked very poor against any set pieces, every corner that Sweden had looked like it would go in as our defence looked week and confused. Sweden’s first goal came from corner headed in the near post by Allbank. The pub went quite for about 5 minutes before we all started cheering and singing again.
Gerrard and Campbell came on and a subbed Rooney looked very unhappy to come off. Gerrard got England’s second but that was all in vain as Sweden scored from a throw in 5 minutes later as it was clipped off Larsson. That goal should never have been Campbell looks like he just moved out of the way of the ball to let it in.
If England play like we did in the first half then we have a chance, but I can’t see us getting much further if we play like we did in the second half.

As Germany beat Ecuador 3-0 we will be playing Ecuador this Sunday and I don’t think they are to be underestimated. Germany continues to dominate their games and they seem to be getting better.

Football aside I had a crap day at work as my manager wants to change my job. I am not happy and I have contacted my manager’s manager to try and stop this happening.
