Six and a half hours to go...


[01.05]....until the big kick-off against Nigeria. I've just stuck my 'ickle St. George flag out of the bedroom window, as so many others have done. (We saw so many houses displaying flags as Bristolcream drove us back along the A34 Manchester-Birmingham on Sunday.) It's a rather tokenistic gesture here though, given that I live ten houses down a pedestrianised cul-de-sac and hardly anyone can see the house, let alone a poxy flag, but it's the thought that counts.

I'm going to fetch CrystalTipps at 7am, so she can come here and we'll watch the match together on my bigger TV. She's feeling bad that she missed the Argentina game as she was working. She has also confessed to not knowing much about football, but she's concerned that David Beckham gets his hair right. Obviously, that is the most important thing about the game.

Here's hoping we sneak that draw with Nigeria, but it ain't gonna be easy in the afternoon heat, which Nigeria will find easier to cope with. I also hope that Sweden beat Argentina, and then Argentina will be out, joining holders France from earlier today. Au revoir, les bleus! !Adios los azules y blancos!

Feeling nervous already...probably won't sleep.....
