What a game! The drama! The spectacle! The sheer display of masculinities!

I love it. I love penalty shoot-outs. The emotion! It's when football turns into tennis. Plus: Goalie pitted against goalie: pure theatre.

Ronaldo! Ricardo! I'm so glad I'm going to be seeing them again.

The disallowed goal!!!!!

The dodgy penalty spot!!!!

Urs!!!!!

That was great spectator fun. And a nice bonus that the side I was rooting for won. Although, as far as I'm concerned, that disallowed goal was a goal.

I am plotting attendance at a Cameroon match for the World Cup. Oh yes, I am.

And Gary looking gently tanned.

My life apart from football is sort of crap. Well, not my life: my job situation. I had thought it couldn't get worse but it has.
