well kind of.
the ladyfoot final was great, the plucky norwegians seem to have been taken to the lancashire public’s hearts (and i’m sure the fact that they were playing the germans had nothing to do with it) and were pretty unlucky (their disallowed goal seemed not to be offside, and they had a good shout for a penalty ignored). the cricket was good too, pieterson smacking the tiring australians all round the park and the home town boy (who has a very strange-shaped face, almost cartoonish) scoring the winning run. but BLIMEY what’s going on at the grand prix????? it has (for those of us who enjoy it) been a half decent season really, but the fact that only 6 cars are taking part in the race out of 20 effectively seals the death knell of the sport in the US, and who knows where else. it’s not impossible that there may yet be a riot, although the police captain they just spoke to said they could deal with any problem…
anyway, there’s always the golf. i wonder if there are highlights of the intertoto cup first round anywhere…
