Pete, I love watching the little teams too, although I do like to see ‘local’ sides do well. Still, it’s always nice when an outsider comes along and plays one of the favourites off the pitch.

Remember France last time – losing to Senegal in the first round?

Ally – talking of the flags on cars, I have seen people with them for over a month now. A touch premature IMO.

Well, if it had been Mr Blogs who had noticed I would probably have said the same as your wife

Good luck to the USA in the World Cup! They are a great team to watch, they play very much like a British side.

the world cup? its the little teams I like. The Ingerlund mob turn me a bit cold.

2002 was superb, i was out of work and woke up at 7:30 and could watch every game.

Urgh to the bear / monkey thing. I am SO not interested in the world cup . Even the flags flying on cars drive me to apoplexy ).

I like a woman who admits her mistakes. If I had pointed out the same error to my wife she would have said, "I did that on purpose, just to keep you on your toes." She says a similar thing about her inability to make a proper gravy: "I did it on purpose, just to keep you in the bathroom."

Ladies, I do indeed watch World Cup matches, but not with the same fervor you do.

Thank you for the humorous comments this morning, Kate.

Jude – it does make for compulsive viewing. People who avoid it really don’t know what they are missing.

Do you think we could get the Admiral interested?

Oops, yes, that's the one. Sorry, having a blonde moment there.

LOL @ And I thought St. Patrick drove all the bears out of Germany.

Maybe he did, he got about a bit.

I’m not at all a football fan, but I do like to watch the world cup, you are right, it has all the highs, lows and drama. I’ll be cheering them on.

I hate to be unobservant, but I didn’t notice the World Cup thingy in the upper left; I did, however, notice it in the upper right. Could it possibly be the same one?

And I thought St. Patrick drove all the bears out of Germany. Goes to show you what I know.
