    <My daughter calls the flags on cars Wayne Kerr (or something like that) flags!
    >

    I know an old lady that got her house broken into recently.
    She lost about £12k worth of jewelry and was very upset in the process.

    She was contacted by the police who had recovered everything (YAY for the old bill for once). When she went to identify it they had left a file open which showed the burglars name and address, presumably accidentally?

    Turns out this guy lives very near her. When she took a drive past his house to take a look at where the scroat originates from his place was covered in massive England flags!

    Makes you wonder eh?

    Hey England fans, share it around, isn't one World Cup win enough for one year?

    I'm actually really excited to see how the smaller teams do - my favourites to produce some kind of upset are the Socceroos and the Ivory Coast. I'd also like Bafanu Bafanu to do well.
    Proper support goes behind England of course ;-)

    Just got Paraguay in the office sweepstake. Bit of a waste of a fiver but you pays your money . . .

    Could be worse: the organiser got North Korea :lol::lol:

    I'm now ready for the World Cup.

    At work I sit next to a big white wall which normally has various clocks for our main market time zones projected onto it.

    I'd now showing ITV on an 86" screen about 5' from my desk.

    I am going to get a bad neck.

    Please please if someone has a live streaming link share it. I really want to watch the match and ITVplayer and their app have let me done!

    MM. Why are you supporting Greece?

    They're showing the game at work. Had to get the sound turned off because of those friggin horns they have. It sounds like a swarm of bees :evil:

    I'm ready. I've got a pile of DVDs to watch and books to read. Hopefully it'll all be over soon and I'll have missed the whole thing.

    Unfortunately our stream is internal. The joys of working for a media company.

    This should give you a choice - but if you're at work you probably won't have most of the streamers so you might have to go for the media player links. http://myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=77086&part=sports
