Football

England 1, Argentina 0

So, of course, Brumgoth is full of posts about football (CovHeretics, thankfully, isn't), the city centre pubs are full of drunks with England flags and/or facepaint, and the drunk who marched past my bus queue was yelling "C'maaan! Whazup! Aren't yer fuckin' proud of yer fuckin' country?".

Good question. I'm proud of a lot of the things it's done (which isn't quite the same thing) - but Beckham kicking a ball into a net isn't one of them.

It's not that I don't like football (I watched the Senegal/France match when I was in Montreal, and really enjoyed it), it's just that I don't take it quite that seriously - and I certainly don't think it's any real measure of patriotism (which is itself an entirely different can of worms, and one which I won't open here).

Am I missing something? (testosterone, perhaps?)

Photos from C8

If anyone on here really doesn't want their photos uploaded, or wants a veto first, let me know.

People caught on film are: minusbat, godgirl, Uncle Nemesis, James Muir, liz_lowlife, lee_chaos, Dag, Edvamp, kest, rat_bastard, moonmudge, Axel, Thor(?), markeris, saiira, imago, inulro and Corinne. Oh, and Crystabell.

Highlights are Liz's "Oi, who broke our Chaos?" pose, Dag and rat_bastard looking strangely sinister, and Uncle Nemesis in That Coat. Some of the party shots and group shots at Les Foufons also came out pretty well.
