Think I have an idea where LS got off to... Have a hunch he took a trip to S Africa.. to bribe the Officials and make sure we (US) didn't win a game!!

Not sure a bribe would be needed on that one... unless of course you were playing us (Australia) again...

I don't know why everyone is criticising Heskey.

I think he's been solid in defence for Algeria.

I think.. its time to clear the decks here.. take this to general topics or something.. stop hijacking our master storyteller's home turf, and await the next installment!

Well one more. Great ribbing guys and we Limeys deserve it. Good luck today against Ghana; rooting for you. While England alone, and not for the first time when others might choose an easier way, stands against the might of Germany tomorrow.

Enough banter.

"Heidi will you and Josephine come down from there, and perhaps powder your nose for the moment".

Suitably chastened, but still giggling like girls they moved away.

He dispersed my crewmen with a wave of the hand. There were free drinks at the bar after all.

"Sir?"

"Yes, I have something to discuss with you, but it's good that you have let off steam first."

I could still see that they were both peering over from the bar, where our U-46 gang were buying them drinks at an alarming rate.

Doenitz continued. "As you know, I have rid myself of some pen pushers in the 7th Flotilla and will do so again on the other bases. I want actual combat veterans who know the boats in the seat, to run our campaign".

"It would mean giving up your boat, and releasing it to another commander. Your Number One impresses me, but I do have a good group straight out of Kiel and the Baltic training station ready for their first command".

He caught my glance towards Heidi, enjoying herself with our crew at the bar.

"Heidi would like it, too."

I gulped the last of my drink.

"What do you say Kapitan....?"

He obviously passed him his pen and the numpty dropped it and it broke

Rob Green has trained all morning and in 3 hours he had 4,000 shots fired at him and did not concede a single goal.

This afternoon, he and Heskey will train with the rest of the squad

As my old friend Kermit was so fond of saying...
"It's not easy being Green"

Problem was.. he had other things on his mind..

"Green's recent breakup with 23-year-old Canadian model Elizabeth Minett may have distracted the goalie in preparing for soccer's showcase event."

Poor heartbroken chap..

LOL! So true Jim.. my use of the word poor was as follows..

poor (pʊr)

Eliciting or deserving pity; pitiable: couldn't rescue the poor fellow.

Although a few other definitions might also apply..
2. Not adequate in quality; inferior: a poor performance.
3. Lacking fertility: poor soil.
4. Humble: a poor spirit.

..(whispers to LS.. sorry mate.. no more Green bashing..I promise!)
