I'm not interested in footie, but am looking forward to Wimbledon - the only sports event that I try to watch every year.

I said on the other thread that although I will be watching some of the World Cup, there is 'so' much sport on lately, they should by now, have a sports channel .......

Glad that you are able to enjoy it, though.

Even if I loved sport - I feel for people who do not, the BBC do have other channels, so its not a big deal to provide another.

Re: The World Cup
I love the world cup matches but never watch England, strange but true!
Just don't like their style of play.Always used to look forward to Wimbledon but not so keen now, not enough rising stars apart from Russians and other Eastern Europeans......gawd, they get everywhere!

I find England's style irritating too and also the hype about one or two "star" players they always seem to concentrate on, as if the rest of the team are only a support act!
As for Tennis, I can't stand it but then, I'm not into sport much anyway.
I used to like football, cricket, rugby and long-distance running when I was young - competing only.
Nothing worse than watching cricket IMHO!
Playing it is surprisingly tiring but watching - eugh!! stevmk2
