Ok, maybe the England match was not a great match to watch, and there were some interestingly dubious decisions by the manager, but at the end of the first day’s play of Group B, England top the table with 2 point lead! I think thanks go to Brent Sancho of Gillingham and Shaka Hislop more than to the England squad but we’ll take those points however we can.

We had a few friend around and rigged up a big screen in the garden – this is where we shall be watching all the England games – anyone that knows me a s a friend is more than welcome to join us!
