The end of another World Cup and dissapointment as per usual from the England camp and lot’s of shockingly bad displays overall from the FIFA Officials in most of the games.

Was proud to see the US team do so well and for the fans to give so much effort and enthusiasm, however it will be interesting to see how many of those “die hards” carry it through to the normal season and to the other global competitions (EPL, Champions League etc).

I met some fantastic people during this campaign (you know who you are), and I would also like to extend a big thanks to the Timberwood Grill for putting on a great show for us. With the family friendly atmosphere, tons of USA/England banter and of course the English Lunch Menu (especially the amazing breakfast – all cooked by my good friend Charlie (the other one), it really was THE place to be in Charlottesville.

I’d also like to give a shout out to places like She-Bean and Wild Wing for putting on a good show for all Football fans in Charlottesville this World Cup. I would usually thank McGradys but it’s hard when you have a bunch of idiots booing through the opposing countries national anthems. It just shows ignorance, bad manners, bad form and a complete disrespect for the game – and none of your staff did anything about it. The one saving grace was that guys like myself or Iain were not in there when the English National Anthem was being booed – there would have been one or two issues going down sharpish. Clean it up guys – you have a great bar but you lost a good number of customers that day, don’t let things like this happen in future.

If anyone wants to have a beer or three, you know where to find me !

See you in Poland for the EURO Championships – June 2012 !!!

COME ON ENGLAND, COME ON ENGLAND, COME ON ENGLAND !!!!!
