Africa’s World Cup Woes Worsen
Togo garnered some respect in their 2-nil defeat to Switzerland (who you can’t really see going very far beyond the round of 16, if they pip France to that post), while Tunisia blew a 1-nil lead during their game against Spain in the 70th minute, and ultimately suffered a 3-1 defeat.
So Togo are out, and Tunisia are teetering, their World Cup prospects hanging by the slender hope of a win against the Ukraine. It strikes me that, if Ghana blow their (surprisingly good) chances of getting past the group stages, then SA Logue will have to find a surrogate team for Africa’s vicarious support.
Among the teams from the South, Argentina looks good (and has a latitude similar to SA’s). Any other suggestions?

England. Of the decent sides at the tournament, they are the most interesting. Many are young players, but most have enough experience to play well. I see that Erikson hasn’t played Theo Walcott yet, which is frustrating me because I want to see what he can do. But he may not need to play, if the Coles, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard carry on the way they are doing.
Beckham’s also interesting to watch - he has been the most masterly captain of any of the sides I’ve seen playing.
The English first half against Sweden was the best football I’ve watched at the cup so far.
I think England are going to amaze us this time.
