Have been too busy watching the world cup to blog!...and now there's tennis on too!
Thanks to my scouser mate Andrew for the following:
It is just before England v Brazil at the World Cup. Ronaldino goes into
the Brazilian changing room to find all his team-mates looking a bit glum.
"What's up?" he asks. "Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game.
We know it's important but it's only England. They're rubbish and we can't
be bothered". Ronaldino looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat these by
myself, you lads go down the pub."
So Ronaldino goes out to play England by himself and the Rest of the
Brazilian team go off for a few jars.
After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so they Get the
landlord to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads "Brazil
1 - England 0 (Ronaldino 10 minutes)". He is beating England all by himself!
Anyway, a few more pints later and the game is forgotten until someone
remembers "It must be full time now, let's see how he got on". They put the teletext
on. "Result from the Stadium "Brazil 1 (Ronaldino 10 minutes) - England 1 (Owen
89 minutes)". They can't believe it, he has single handily got a draw against England!! They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate Ronaldino.
They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head
in his hands. He refuses to look at them. "I've let you down, I've let you down." "Don't be daft, you got a draw against England, all by yourself. And they only
scored at the very, very end!"
"No, No, I have, I've let you down... I got sent off after 12 minutes"
England must get better....one can only hope and pray. Couldn't believe how many chances Lampard wasted.....
