So it’s confirmed, we will be playing our old adversaries, the Germans, in the last 16 of 2010 World Cup. It just had to be didn’t it? But I have a feeling that playing them now, rather than later in the tournament, could be better for us!
The match will be played in Bloemfontein on Sunday afternoon. It promises to be a barbecue weekend here in the UK so stock up on the bangers, burgers and beer!
Today, the sun is shining already and I’m about to set off for an all together more tranquil sporting occasion down by the riverside in Cardiff. England versus the Aussies in a day /night, 50 over cricket international at the SWALEC stadium in Sophia Gardens. Come on England let’s make it 2/2.
It heralds the start of a busy weekend with friends arriving tomorrow, from the north-east, for the 25th annual Upton-on- Severn Jazz Festival.
So what with cricket, jazz, barbecues, beer and sunday’s big football occasion I’ll be putting the blog on hold until Monday. By then the nation will be euphoric or wallowing in the depths of another depression.
