Its been two weeks of constant football since Germany kicked off the latest world cup and we've had 3 matches every day, non-stop coverage in the media, and discussions and analysis from every person you meet.You can't open a newspaper, switch on the radio or TV, or even stand in the queue of the local shop without hearing the names Ronaldinho, Rooney, or Zidane. This really is over the top and it has to stop! Yeah, right! I love it.
The best game so far? Argentina against Serbia and Montenegro certainly, IMO, had the greatest world cup goal ever. 24 passes followed by a sweet finish, Superb! But for sheer entertainment, Ghana against the Czech republic had everything. An early goal, sending off, missed penalty, World class goalkeeping, and a shock result in the end (So much for my tip, the Czechs went from dark horses to donkeys!). The USA were very unlucky against the mighty Italians and should have won. A great performance nevertheless.
I could go on all day but suffice to say this world cup has been truly outstanding and, should it continue in this vein, will be up there with Argentina 78 as the best world cup I've ever seen.

I think you should submit a CV to RTE, looks like you got what it takes - you might have to brush up a bit on the GAA
Will this ever end? When will normal living resume in this house? What's happening in Eastenders?
You should come to the US - you'd hardly think there was a World Cup on at all.
Haven't you realised yet that "normal" sevice ended for you on the 19th May 2001?
