Sporting Summer
Perhaps there is time for one last posting from the Mysterious Guest Blogger.
I'm back in England now, and one notable difference is that sporting commentary is in English English. Excellent! However, the ESPN coverage is strikingly similar to the Budweiser parody of American commentators, so I'm not missing out on American-style commentary completely.
One thing that is TV channel-invariant is English sporting underachievement. I've just watched Tim Henman get soundly spanked by Roger Federer, 6-4 6-0 6-2. The optimist in me says that England will buck this trend against Portugal on Saturday, but what does everyone else think?
My optimistic prediction is 2-1 England, but more likely we'll go out on penalties (again).

Dear MEGB,
I join you in your optimism for a 2-1 victory to England. I think England will score first, then get slack and Portugal will equalise. Then it will be desperate fumbling where it will look like England are holding on for dear life, before lady luck descends from the heavens and they'll win, possibly because of an own goal. But, maybe this is a ruse so you can finally beat me in the points table?
