Massive thanks to all who played, very much appreciated and was nice to meet Hamster. My Husband who as you know is a Jock phoned me when you lost the semi and said "they are like England dear, can't seem to get past the semi's" I have sent him to bed without any tea. :D

Both years we were beaten by the eventual winners in the semis. I'll take that, aprticularly considering we were pretty crap in out group games. The semi was immense, though. A real cupset. Great ball over the top for me to volley (with my left, shock horror) into the far corner. Ben equalised after some good persistence, and MiniB latched onto my inside dink to score the winner. Quality.

Well done lads.

 

Start was worrying tbh but I do think that Argies peaked in that match.

 

With each game you all seemed to gel more and more and yes, that 1/4 final was the match of the tournament imho. I took the trouble to watch a few other matches and di not see a better team performance all day.

 

Keeping it tight when they had the ball, stopping them play and when in possesion spreading out and using the full pitch. Bearing on mind the heat and one or two very good opposition teams it was a performance that you should all be proud of. To think you only qualified in 4th place it certainly was not a case of them being complacent.

 

Not sue what happened in the semi but I was confident of having a cold dinner when we thought you would be up against England, they had some very weak areas for sure which you could have easily capitalised on.

 

MOTM? Some good showings from 3 or 4 Aussies, but what kept you in it was definitley some match-saving goalkeeping from Baj. Just think how good you'd have been if you'd took Ben's advice and worn shoes! ;)

 

Only saw one bit of nastiness all day too, and bearing in mind that all the refs and organisers had given their time freely that was one too many I'm sure all will agree. Glad to hear they lost in the final as that nipper should have not played a further part after grabbing matey by the throat.

 

Nice also to see one or two new faces and yes, I was jealous as soon as the kick-about started wishing I'd brought my contacts and astro trainers.

 

Thanks for the bubbly at the end, really should have gone to one of the players, but alcohol is alcohol at the end of the day and mrs h is waiting for it to chill as I write.

 

I had a thoroughly good time, nice banter from start to finish.

 

Ben, twas nice to see you not taking no **** from the missus, and Deppo, hope you didn't get in too much trouble?

 

Now then, anyone got any good sunbyrn remedies? Ones that do not involve gettting mrs h to pee on me please.

You mean the quarter, Robsk. I had a good semi when I clapped eyes on you, though.

 

That is nothing compared to what you did all over the carpet when I touched your leg in the Brigh****er. Dirty boy.

 

 

 

 

And I am not joking, he actually did spill something.

I did not spill anything. That stain was already there...thanks for the lift Hamster, you're a true gent and deserving of your MOTM status.

 

People on here know that I never lie Deppo.

 

btw, did you not notice the t-shirt that I wore especially for you?

 

MOTOM, you make I larf.

 

Had that roast btw and a lovely pint of Piddle, you'd like Piddle Deppo, try it next time you are in there.

Spades in 'We can beat this lot with one arm tied behind our backs' moment.

 

Note the blood trickling down his leg...heroic to the last. And I couldn't help but notice NO FIRST AID KIT yet again. One of these days someone is going to get a nasty graze, when you do, do not come running to me.

Noteworthy also that amongst the squad yesterday were at least 4 severe hangovers, 3 carrying recurring injuries and 2 who were old enough to have known better. Some of the pics though hide these facts as they played on and on and on through the physical and mental pain barrier.

 

Here 'The magnificent Seven':

Looks like his arm is broken! Is that position even possible!!

onward to battle! ..... (or a shopping trip ;-))

 

 

Yes Hammy, we should have known better. I have sunburn on my face and somehow on the back of my leg!!

Comment from the tournament organiser about team SWF:-

 

"they caused the biggest upset of the tournament by knocking group winners Italy out after only just scraping through to the quarters themselves, same time next year?"

If you want to see a "nasty graze" Hamster, take a look at the red blob on my left knee - just visible under Robsk the ginger's left hand (camera right) on the Mag 7 pic above.

 

Came from a probably unnecessary sliding tackle on the sandy Astro in the Quarter Final after a bloke tried to knock the ball one side of me and run around the other, the cheeky f'cker.

 

It's still seeping 24 hours later... :(

I may have recovered by then too ! :)

 

Actually if you look at the final standings we had a terrible group draw, I THINK all 4 of the teams in our group beat all 4 of the teams in the other group in the QFs ?

 

Were the Semi-Finalists us, England, Holland and Argentina ? All from Group B.

I was amazed to find out Deppo was infact a real person. Up until now I'd always thought he was a virus on my hard drive which McAfee couldn't get rid of.

 

You don't think that was actually me yesterday, do you? As if I'd look like that.

I can confirm that Deppo did not actually turn up at the pre-arranged time at the pre-arranged pick-up location.

 

Fearing leaving the team short of players I kidnapped a tramp from behind Woolworth's and dressed him from a bin bag that someone had left outside of 'Help The Aged' - hence the smell and dis-shevvelled (sp) oik that showed up in his place.

 

I thought having the roof down (fresh-air) was a give away but tbh. Also the fact that said tramp couldn't trap a bag of sand and lacked the intelligent razor-sharp wit of our friend Deppo.

 

I later found the real Deppo huddled around a pint of Piddle in the original localle. ****** of the highest order.
