We are the best in the world! We have beaten England 2-1 in football!! It is completely unbelievable! We have beaten England! England, birthplace of giants. Lord Nelson, Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee, Henry Cooper, Lady Diana--we have beaten them all. We have beaten them all.<br /><br />"Maggie Thatcher can you hear me? Maggie Thatcher, I have a message for you in the middle of the election campaign. I have a message for you: We have knocked England out of the football World Cup. Maggie Thatcher, as they say in your language in the boxing bars around Madison Square Garden in New York: Your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!"Oz Kankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01031790983671229117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-48906590954497792762010-07-03T19:12:16.230+03:002010-07-03T19:12:16.230+03:00Mmmmmm .....

AND SNEIJDER SCORES!<br /><br />- This time not Melo. Not an own goal this time.<br /><br />- We know for sure it was Sneijder.<br /><br />- Netherlands came back from 1-0 to 2-1<br /><br />- Three quarters of playing time has been played<br /><br />- MAYBE I CAN UNPACK MY SUITCASE AGAIN; I HAD NOT REALLY PACKED IT YET!Flying Dutchman Kankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605921932340555521noreply@blogger.com
