England to win World Cup – official

Yes, it's true! According to nearly 47% of England supporters, the national squad will win the 2006 World Cup which starts this weekend in Germany. This stunning victory, coming only 100 years since our last triumph, could well mark a rennaisance of marketing and beer-drinking in Britain. Even some Scots are backing the 3-Lions Lads!

It's practically done and dusted.

Meanwhile, apologies for the 'lack of action' here. We're not dead (unlike the Spain Herald, those punks). IT issues and general and all-pervasive exhaustion, due in no way to last weekend's revelling. I promise to do a Primavera Sound round-up, nationailsm in Catalonia II and some more stuff soon. After the footy.
