Come on England!

As a woman, I'm in the extreme minority who are looking forward to the footie World Cup which starts in a week and a half from now. It's what most woman dread - weeks and weeks of constant football disrupting usual programming (Al will know what that's like-bless her), but me
I LOVE IT!!!

Tonight England played Hungary in a friendly warm up match at Old Trafford. The usual dull first half was displayed with the exception of a penalty which we were luckily awarded after Gerrard was supposedly fouled. I think justice was done when Lampard's penalty shot was saved. Suddenly at the start of the second half, it was like they had bombs up their arses or something!? Two goals in four minutes, both from Beckham crosses I might add. I don't dare what people/the media say about him, I've always liked him enormously and really admire his talent. He may not be quite the same footballer as he was a few years ago but I feel he's still such an important influence to the team and a real roll model.

Unfortunately Hungary scored a goal a short time after our second-quite a spectacular one actually. Robinson had no chance. The game kinda petered out after that...until the 84th minute when Crouch turned and put the ball in the net. 3-1. The next friendly will be on Saturday afternoon against Jamaica.

It's ironic that there's been nothing on the telly all weekend and come tonight, there's tons I want to watch: Eastenders, Location Location Location, Match of the Day, Celebrity X Factor, Big Brother and Lost. I've already got two videos on the go recording stuff while I watch the footie - there's not gonna be enough hours in the evening.
