I tend to support any team who is playing England or Germany.

When they play each other I suppose I'd sooner see England win. I think being hammered is good for the soul, but England's had its turn at that.

As a game, it's not a patch on Hurling. Up Tipp!

But it's a lot better than that American version of rugger where they all dress up as spacemen.

Of course the Aussies have the best version of fooball. Even better then Gaelic.

I missed the game, after the equaliser, because I was at Fylde Folk Festival, and the music of the Pierre Schryer Band from Ontario and Chouchenn from Lancaster promised to be better than any football match. And was.
