England v Scotland
Well what a bore that was, eh? There seemed to be some confusion over which direction England were facing, the ball going backwards more times than it went forwards. Perhaps if someone had made it clear to the England team that they were meant to get the ball between the posts at the end of the pitch, it might have been more interesting.

I agree 100%. Perhaps someone should be told the object is to put the ball between those white posts on which is hung a net and not to tip tap it from one player to another.I have heard that Portugal are sending their team to the Olympic Games and entering them in the diving contests which they are masters at.

Re: England v Scotland
I can't be bothered to even watch a lot of men chasing a ball then hugging each other when the ball goes into a fishing net. Call them footballers? rubbish. If the grass is to long they wont play -if there is snow/ice on the pitch they won't play and also have terrible eyesight as they have to have their names plastered right across their backs. Even their balls have to have the right bounce, not like the leather laced up footballs we had to kick about.They would not have even got out of the changing rooms if they had to play on grounds like we did as school kids

I can remember kicking those leather balls around and they were bloody hard.
