We Apologise For This Temporary Interruption to Our Transmission

The World Cup is on. So I have been spending all my blog-writing hours watching television.

I am supporting Australia and England. Australia are employing an enjoyable but gauche tactic of playing their little socks off and then having their best players dismissed with a red card. England are pursuing a more subtle strategy - trying to fox their opponents by not bothering to play at all.

I wonder who I am going to be supporting next?
