But it does give me a reason to support Holland (with
Bergkamp and Overmars), or France (with Petit and Vieira),
in the dark days following England's inevitable elimination
on June 26th. They, or should I say 'we', have just drawn
0-0 with Saudi Arabia so I'm not feeling too optimistic.
Still, what a feast of football, a smorgasbord of soccer,
what a cornucopia of cliche we face in the weeks to come.
And on a personal note, what a fine season it's been for
me. Avoiding a recurrence of the legendary groin strain that
disrupted recent seasons, I defied the allegedly advancing
years to score 32 goals in 20 games (with more to come over
the summer I would guess). Yes you read that right, 32 goals
in 20 games, scored while playing in a midfield role of my
own invention, in parks across London. Some may not count
such games as official fixtures, but then they didn't score
32 goals in 20 games did they?
