CNN.com - England hang on after superb start - Jun 10, 2006
I watched the England-Paraguay game at a bar in Roppongi. Before going, I did not really care who would win, but the English fans in the pub quickly convinced me to cheer for the Paraguay underdogs. Three English friends were already drunk before the game started. Sharing one brain, which they apparently had left at home, they were more concerned about screaming and shouting during the game than actually watching it.
A newspaper article the other day noted that men who are not good at sports often compensate for this deficiency by drinking lots of alcohol. Some of the English idiots in the bar today proved whatever the study was trying to say.
Otherwise, I am having trouble convincing friends and colleagues that Norway could not join the World Cup this year due to vacation and various timing issues. Being a small nation, we can not simply take time off for any random sports event, and this year we decided to focus on the Olympics. Therefore, we simply could not afford to send a team to the World Cup. Thank you for your understanding.
