Now we can forget about the World Cup for a while
As the world wakes up to the news of the World Cup draw, we can safely say that most Americans have no idea that their country has been drawn to play against England in Group C. And we are not saying, of course, that it is the fine detail of which group. Anyhow, the draw has been completed and we can thankfully all forget about the World Cup until June next year. Unlike any national newspapers, FootballCynic.com last week was able to reveal exclusively that France would play in South Africa's group. Today, the journalists have had to cancel their 'Group of Death' headlines, as the draw seems so favourable to England, but Mr Capello is fast to tell us that there are no easy games. FootballCynic is sure that England can make them look difficult - and the latest on BBC News is that Algeria are technically one of the best teams in the competition because they beat Egypt.
We had guests round last night for aperitifs and dinner and irritatingly Lady Knobhead wouldn't allow me to go to the study to watch the draw. I did tell one of my guests that I had it on good authority that France would be drawn against South Africa. Today my credibility has increased as the rather well-known guest - who will remain anonymous of course - called me this morning to ask if I had any tips for the result of England v USA. Any pointers, Footballcynic? I was thinking 0-0. I am sure England can make Group C the Group of Death. (FootballCynic writes: And was Fabio an interesting guest, Lord Knobhead?)
