Since my (football fan) Son is home from university now, we felt inclined to watch the England vs Slovakia match yesterday evening. It was torture, Slovakia snatched an early goal and our team played terribly for 90 minutes, they were totally pedestrian! So, for most of the game we looked like we were exiting the tournament and deservedly so. Only via a last gasp effort in the dying embers of the game did we pull a goal back to force extra time. Then, in the first moments of extra time we scored again to end up 2-1 in front. It was interesting how the mood changed, the commentators and the fans seemed to go from utter disillusionment to elation in the space of about 2 minutes. I pity those fans who left the stadium early in disgust, they missed all the action, it's a funny old game.
