So, a few weeks on and how were my predictions.
1) The rugby team got slapped in the final, silly penalties and no invention meant an easy win for S.Africa. Still, if you'd offered me the final before the tournament I'd have bitten your hand off.
2) They did indeed.
3) Lampard was not picked - excellent. But England still lost. With luck they will fail to qualify and football fans will begin to realise how poor we are.
4) Completely and utterly wrong. Go Sox. Beckett is Mr October and even JD Drew is hitting the little white thing with the long stick with reasonable regularity.
So 1 for 4. I love being English, my natural desire for dissapointment is often fullfilled.

And they were all yellow...
Look at Sam Jones, see how he shines for you, and all the things you do, his eyes were all yellow.
Disapointingly there was nothing in the coldplay lyrics about having a face full of spaghetti.

World Cup Fever
Owen gets into the spirit of the Rugby World cup with an England shirt and ball, maybe the England team might have done better if they had remembered their cricket stumps...

The world of sport...
The world of sport (or at least my bit of it) is going rather well at the moment. Obviously the rugby chaps have done well, but the cricketers seem to be finding their feet, footballers are kicking acceptably, and even the Red Sox are scaling the heights. I do however feel a slight unease with how well things seem to be going, and so for the record here are my predictions for the coming weeks.
1) The rugby team lose the final but come home with heads held high because they punched above their weight. I'm a little annoyed as I went to the trouble of getting a projector from school wich essentially meant I could watch England fail bigger and louder than normal.
2) The cricketers forget how to win as quickly as they seemed to remember.
3) McClaren can't resisit picking the arch muppet Lampard again and England lose to Russia and then croatia, they qualify by the skin of their teeth but everyone is left with a nasty "I wish they'd appointed Martin O'Neil" taste in their mouths.
4) The Red Sox blow up, Beckett pitches in game 7 and having previously been the October God he gets carted deep for lots and Terry in a moment of madness thinks "Cometh the hour cometh the gagne" - Gange comes, then goes again very rapidly over the centre field wall. JD Drew continues where he left off at the end of September and does nothing for $13millon. Fenway gets hit by a freak New England Hurricane and is utterly destroyed and MLB relocate the team to Wisconsin.
How about that for some good old fasioned Briish negativity. Reaslistically i'd settle for 2 from 2.
