A glorious exit for England

NOT.  But commiserations to any of you who take these things seriously. We watched the England match last night with a crowd at the Pacific Guest House. A few non-English (2 Irish and a South Korean) volunteers and me cheering for Portugal and the rest including the Nepali (or maybe they're Tibetan) friends and family of the owner rooting for England. Noisy but no crowd trouble unlike last week when apparently a drunk English fan had a fight in one of the smartest hotels in town. Despite the late start (00:45 our time), 4 of our friends came back to our flat to watch Brazil on my laptop (I've got a TV tuner for it) and at least that was entertaining enough to keep us awake.
 
Even the most hardened England fan must be relieved that the wives and girlfriends will not now be recording "We are the Champions".
 
Have a good week and enjoy Wimbledon in the sunshine whilst we alternate between heat and monsoon rain.
 
Cheers
Roshan
