Well what can I say?
Poor Rob Green. How often do any of us have our mistakes highlighted under such a major spot light? I am sure we can all think of things we have done that we wish we hadn't, or things that went wrong.
Yet Rob has the dreams and wishes of millions of Englanders sitting on his shoulders, so is it fair to say he shouldnt play for us anymore? Or is it fair to say give the man a chance, any one could have let the ball slip past them like that? ( err... yes we havent had the training that he has mind you.)
I was dissapointed last night when watching the ball slip into the net. However, after reflection , I did think; give the man a break; he will torment himself enough without the rest of us helping.
Now is probably not the time to say its only football - but it is!
I enjoyed wearing a football strip to school on Friday because we became the BHLPS Football Team. A sea of red and white excited children and teachers.
I couldn't wait to take the thing off though at the end of the day. A football kit just does not go with high heels!
I will continue to cheer for the English team and dont mind James,Green or Hart in goal. It would just be great for us to win, so that we could have street parties and talk about the time we won the World Cup in 2010.
Now am I the only person in the world who is being driven mad by those hooting vuvuzelas'?
During the current tournament, foreign players, coaches and journalists have called for a ban of the vuvuzela. There is debate about whether it's a unique part of South African culture, and therefore untouchable, or just a cheap plastic import that makes a lot of noise, like an electric air horn or a whistle.
I am thinking of buying one for Mrs Burns Hopkins to try out in the playground instead of a whistle!
Enjoy the rest of the tournament and roll on Wimbledon!
