Not so England

What can I say I have been waiting for four years for this moment. Headed out early to get a good spot in the pub to watch the game. SID's bar Makiti great Spot for expats in Manila to relax and talk England. Must have been 150 English supporters, 1 argentine and 1 French supporter in the bar waiting for Kick off.
And what a start we had, Beckham put a blinder into the box and Paraguay under pressure put the ball into there own net 1 - 0 after 4 mins yaheeeeee. The Pub errupted into cheers of joy. The Fhilipinos who had come to watch were in ore of the response from the England fans.

I spent the next 86 mins thinking when are we going to play as a team? Whats going on with our guys is this realy the Gerrards, Lampards and Owens of the premiership? What a load of Pish we played. I am so disapointed. Ok it was hot is that the reason? Im praying for snow in our next game. Still we won but just. Trinadad played better than England and they only got a draw!

This time when I got home there was no brown out but to my horror I could not find the Argentinia vs Ivory coast game anywhere on my cable TV all 78 channels of it. After searching the TV times for my Cable tv provider i have found in horror that not all games will be shown live.
Dream satelite TV here in the Philippines will install a dish and decoder for no less than 130000 pesos (300us).

I have no option and as its Philippine Independence day here on Monday it may take longer to get installed.

I cant believe I did not check with my cable provider long before the world cup began.

Now I will have to go down the pub for everygame untill my satalite has been installed. My girlfriend will not be amused.
