WORLD CUP FEVER - June 19

Group D

	Nigeria		Bulgaria
	Spain		Paraguay

Nothing much to say about today's games, only saw the end of the first one (playing cricket in the office) and the Spain game was a bore draw. The match stats say there were 14 shots on target, 10 off target, 20 blocked shots and 18 corners which doesn't sound that bad. And maybe it wasn't, but we were in the pub (the White Horse on Newburgh Street near London's legendary swinging Carnaby Street), where the company and the beer were more engaging than the 'action'. The feast of football is overwhelming some, and it'll take the knockout stages to bring us back to a truly feverish state and make us feel like we're dancing on the ceiling.

Yellow card: Stoichkov for his reportedly racist remarks about the superiority of European players. What was the score today Hristo?
