very good Cracker :p T-Ho was fine tonight, P, and yes, a race for first place in C, bring it on. i hope media interest in the USA is as high as can be. (go Blackhawks, btw!)

apparently Lahm (who i'm a big fan of) is their captain now, well, since there's no Ballack, wonder if he's got much of a mouth on him.

A Cole was good tonight anyway, so i am w D_Q on that score wrt a holding midfielder. Heskey certainly performed too. Lennon was his usual respectable self. there was some cute holding of shirts from some Americans, but i suppose a lot of them grew up on gridiron, tbf. really looking forward...

shit mate this is terrible. brings it home spectacularly w your background anecdotage (i know it shouldn't take personalisation for me to care, but, you know what i mean, right). signed it, FWIW. cheers.
