Hi

Just watched Mexico v Holland ( or Nether Regions !! lol ).

Great match played in stifling heat. Mexico looked to have it sewn up, leading 1-0 with Holland struggling with the heat. Don't know what was served in that second drinks stop !!! But the Dutch started to press and after several corners (all wasted) they scored a great goal by Schneider. Then in injury time Robben was awarded a penalty. He had been refused at least two that were far more worth a penalty than this. Probably the ref thought it was time to poor guy got one.

Is it a co-incidence that the Dutch Manager is coming to manage my team, Manchester United. Who of course ,excluding a short period by Moyes was Sir Alex Ferguson. Alex as any football enthusiast will know, was very adept at gaining very late victories.

I look forward to this season under Louis van Gaal, and hope after last year's debacle it will be worth my season ticket.

But for the rest of the World cup I will be shouting for Holland. ( Though I think a South American team will win it.

Cheers
