Well the day has arrived at last!!! Yes today Mr Rooney, with his metertarsil intact (we pray) and the rest of the England squad will play their first game of football against the USA in the World Cup. The game will be screened to most pubs clubs and homes throughout England and possibly the World (?) Whenever i have travelled abroad, Bobby Charlton and Man Utd are often referred to, even in small towns in China. I know tonight in Pingdou the locals will be stood outside on the streets watching the game tonight .
Well i too have been swept away with it all, you really cannot forget its the World Cup season every shop has the St Georges flag emblazoned on just about everything from t shirts and mugs to loo rolls and potatoes. As Mr Smiths game of cricket has been brought forward to enable cricketers to watch footballers, we have decided to have a get together with a few friends so:
Bunting - bought, flags to wave - bought, serviettes to eat patriotic food - bought, patriotic food ( well nearly patriotic... actually the starters are Italian in origin - i think )any way - bought, beers to drink (foreign) - bought, wine to drink (definately not English) bought.
Mr Smith thought a bar-b-que would be a fine idea, he thought an American theme was in order, you know, burgers and ribs, steaks and shrimp, but i decided on mozzerella and juicy tomatoes covered in basil, arranged on a plate in the St Georges flag (patriotic enough for you) followed by roast beef with mini yorkshire puds and roast potatoes, very English.
So COME ON EN-GER-LAND
