The World Cup is a truly international event.
Gary Lineker has now scored 37 goals. That is precisely twice as many as last year.
Northern Ireland were in white, which was quite appropriate because three inches of snow had to be cleared from the pitch before kick off
The Czech Republic are coming from behind in more than one way now.
The match has become quite unpredictable, but it still looks as though Arsenal will win the cup
And I suppose they [Spurs] are nearer to being out of the FA Cup now than any other time since the first half of this season, when they weren't ever in it anyway.
