World Cup Nonsense

'The Nation Unites Behind Murray', screamed The Herald. Hmmmm.

I disagree on the Cloggy point, Nigel.
I think our own post-Rooney rear-guard, futile though it was, was perhaps our finest hour (including the extra time). What a shame it took a brutal act of lunacy followed by bitter (misguided) feelings of wrongedness to galvenise our troops.

You tell the Flatlanders from me; Johan Cryff, Dick Van Dyke, Little-Boy-In-The-Dyke, Ruud Gullit, Red Light Ronata, William of Orange, Windmill Girl; your boys took one helluva beating! (and you went out one clear round sooner than us, so there).
