Well… what can I say… Don’t even know if it worth blogging about.
But I have to! Who was playing for England? Impersonators? The names we know and respect in domestic games were still there but players. Are they now using “field doubles”?
You know what, with the level of commercialisation in English football, I am not surprised. May be they were looking for future team-mates and letting them play so they can see the level. This is just not right. I know that Germany has lost but, honest, it doesn’t make me feel any better.
Now a bit of a surprise for my readers, so they understand what I mean by commercialisation. Do you know, that if I want to put in my blog that, for example, Chelsea plays Everton tomorrow at 16:00 (disclaimer! this is fictitious entry!) than I have to PAY thousands of pounds in license fee! Just think! I cant even say on the net that I am going to watch a game tomorrow and mention time because it’s a fixture and to put a fixture you need a license.
May be this is the reason… at least one of them.
OK, we are now facing the mighty Slovenia (2 millions population, something like Ealing, no disrespect, I am really surprised with their achievement), the group leader. I hope it wouldn’t be another bitter post though.
Thank Paddy Power for the refund! I like their “Bore War” option. As they said: “As the England v Algeria match finished 0 – 0, Paddy Power will refund all losing 1st /last goalscorer, correct score & scorecast singles on the match”
