I'm siding more with the Zappers today. Spotted this on the BBC website:
"Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas says the World Champions' crucial Group B clash with Chile is "life or death" after their 5-1 humiliation at the hands of the Netherlands.
Meanwhile Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso says he expects Chile to play in a similar way to Louis Van Gaal's men and Spanish boss Vicente del Bosque's insists qualification for the knockout stages is still in their hands."
I don't want to labour the point, but it's not really a matter of life-or-death is it, Cesc? It's more a case of 'furthered-hope' (victory) or 'shocking-disappointment' (getting knocked out - knocked out!) and even then, I suspect you and your millionaire pals would find a way to get over it.

My pernickety attitude might be psychological: choir clashes with tomorrow's England match. I had a text from someone asking if we could move it so that they could watch the football. I had to say no. As it happens, most people couldn't care less about England v Uruguay anyway. Here are the responses to my carefully worded email:
"Hi I will be at choir. See you Thursday." - Annette, Alto.
"Think choir more important. That was booked first so will be there." - Tish, Alto.
"You're fine don't do football see you at Choir" - Dave, Bass.
Zappers - lovely, lovely Zappers.
(I might have to remind the Intrepids not to tell me the score when I get in.)
