I was rooting for Portugal ??. Simply because I have a Portuguese friend. I’m not football mad but it was such an exciting game that I forgot to turn over to watch my evening treat of George Clooney in the re runs of E R. Every four years my son gets all nostalgic and talks to me, his family and anyone who’ll listen about How as a boy he would have a sticker book and wall charts in the lead up to the World Cup and before a big match I’d take him to the local co-op and buy cola, sweets and crisps and we’d sit together and watch the game. I think he remembers it mostly because apart from Christmas it was the only time I allowed him to have junk food! (I was a mean mummy!) Its obviously an abiding fond memory. I’m thrilled that I’ve given him that to hold onto. Perhaps long after I’m gone he will recall the memory and tell his own grandchildren the same story.
I hope lots of similar lovely memories will be made for all of you and your families over the next few weeks while you watch the beautiful game. Ps wouldn’t it be fabulous if all the games were as exciting as last nights Spain v Portugal. Come on ???????
. I was sorry for Spain last night but if they will give away a free kick when Ronaldo is there to take it, what do they expect?
