Ooof! Just as predicted, Paraguay we're so frightened of the English that they opted to fall on their swords via an own goal, rather than put up a fight. Apart from that, the other 89 minutes were rubbish.
Next stop, Trinedad & Tobago.

He top-bodies the spheroid into the score bag
Yes, it's that time again.
That special time that comes along only every four years, when the rest of the world stops working and pays attention to the only thing that matters - The World Cup.
It would be a good time to invade another country, since no one would notice.
Can anyone stop the Brazilians?
Will Wayne Rooney's metatarsal heal in time?
Can the Polish invade Germany for a change?
Only time will tell. So sit back and enjoy the ride. For the next month it will be football, football, football, and nobody will be wearing pads and tight pants.
Here's your appetizer. Breakfast is served at my place Saturday for anyone who wants to ride up and watch England take on Paraguay on the big screen. 9 am, ABC.
"Three lions on a shirt, Jules Rimet still gleaming..."

Estrogen Level In Joyce Household Elevated To "Critical"
Congratulations to Dan Joyce, who in addition to having a wife to boss him around, now has a second daughter to start calling the shots. Pictured here, looking suspiciously blonde as compared to her father's black hair, Abigail Margaret Joyce was welcomed in to the world (by appointment) on May 12th. Results of the paternity test are still pending.
Still, good job Dan for kicking out another one, even if it does complete the Axis of Estrogen. Call me though...I can hook you up with some barely used Brat Dolls.
Of course, it wouldn't be right to send Abigail on her way without making her aware of her place in history. Indeed, lots of history had already been made on May 12th, most of it bloody. This includes the Battles of Lewes (1264), Charleston (1780), Venice (1862), Spotsylvania Court House (1864), Batoche (1885) and Kharkov II (1942). Adding to the gloom, the Lindburgh baby shows up, not so bouncy (1932), 1,500 Jews are sent to Auschwitz (1942), Luna 5 crashes in to the moon (1965), a freight train jumps the tracks in San Bernadino destroying 11 homes (1989), and the Riyhad compound bombings kill 26 (2003).
Bloody hell, how can I turn this around? Well on the good news front, William III of England starts a war with France (no really, that's always good news) (1689), the first official County cricket game was played (1890), the General Strike ends (1926), the Soviet Union lifts the blockade of Berlin (1949), Busch Stadium opens (1966) and 38 years later the Red Sox clinch the World Series there, Pink Floyd stage the first ever quadraphonic rock concert (1967), Ernie Banks hits his 500th dinger at Wrigley Field (1970), the Tate Modern Gallery opens (2000) and Justin Gatlin ties the world 100m record (2006).
A busy day for humanity, for better or worse. Let's throw in some birthdays:
Poet Edward Lear, top nurse Florence Nightingale, Pre-Raphaelite painter Gabriel Rossetti, crazy old coot Katherine Hepburn, Yankee wordsmith Yogi Berra, lounge composer Burt Bacharach, angry George Carlin, blockhead Ian Dury, high mileage singer Steve Winwood, the stroker Billy Squier, usual suspect Gabriel Byrne, Marsellus Wallace aka Ving Rhames, part-time Sheen Emilio Estevez, baby Stephen Baldwin, skateboard bazillionairre Tony Hawk, knockout Sofia Coppola, brick sh*thouse Jonah Lomu and juvenile comedy actor Jason Biggs.
Go out and make a name for yourself Abby.

Summer Fun
Get yourself and your sevens game down to Payson Park this Thursday night for the kick off of the summer training circuit (6pm). Plan on a good run around, some healthy competition and a few laughs. We'll be welcoming plenty of homecoming students and even a few newbies, so it's a great time for your nurturing side to come out. What's not to love?
If that's not enough to entice you, Bull Moose is right around the corner, and if you plan on coming, we need to know, and you need to figure out where you'll be staying. Don't leave it to the last minute, or you'll find yourself stuck in room with Spyder and Joey when they stay up all night speaking their own private language.
