England All Stars

I’ve got a great feeling about this match, despite reports that Trinidad and Tobago play with a twelfth man, a spirit player who guides them through the match. After their performance against Sweden they’re going to be well up for it, but so are the England lads despite the German fans celebrating outside their hotel all night. Who needs sleep in the World Cup when adrenalin alone can take them all the way.

Owen’s sounding more confident claiming he can get the Golden Boot this year. Perhaps that’s a bit optimistic, Michael, but I’d be made up if you did. And Rooney could be gracing us with his post-metatarsal presence, a massive lift to the team and fans alike.

But this match was always going to cause me some stress. The five o’clock kick off is going to mean some creative thinking across the country today in order to get out of work and to the pub on time. Do I go straight to the pub on my scooter ensuring I get there for kick off? That would mean being the only sober person in a pub full of revellers. Do I drop the scooter home and rely on London buses to get me there? Risky. Do I leave the scooter at home altogether and rely on public transport all the way? Riskier still.

Either way, get me to the pub on time. It’s going to be a blinder
