World Cup...

Watched the England v Columbia match last night in the Albion pub (where else?) in Skipton. A so-so game, but a good result: the first time we’ve ever won a World Cup game on penalties. I like the way the competition is engaging people who wouldn’t normally watch a football match. I overheard two elderly ladies in a charity shop debating the merits of 4-4-2 over a flat back four.
