Hello and welcome to the 301st post on this blog (sorry, didn't notice the big 300, so we'll have to celebrate 301!). This is a picture of Robin at Angola vs Iran in the World Cup in Leipzig on Wednesday last week (Iran are in white, Angola in red). I've decided to put the picture 'large' rather than 'medium' to see what it looks like, but I won't know until I click 'Publish Post'. (Edit: mmm, looks quite good)
So, the Angola vs Iran game ended 1-1, which was a shame as I'd hoped Angola would win and go through to the next round. But all the fans were very nice - from both countries - so at least a draw sent them both away feeling a bit happy. Notice all the empty seats in the corner even though Fifa keep insisting all the games have a capacity crowd (all the tickets *have* sold, but that's a slightly different thing to people actually turning up).
Leipzig is in what used to be East Germany and it seemed like a really nice town. It's been interesting to travel around Germany a bit during the tournament as it's a country I haven't seen much of before. But all the places we've been to were really pleasant, friendly and excited about the World Cup.
Now, let's just hope England can get a victory over Ecuador this afternoon...

My mum says she's been struggling to post a comment, cos it won't let her. So I thought I'd have a go to check it's working...
Seems to work...
Best of luck to England against Ecuador!

Hello everyone, its me, at last, at least I hope on the sixth attempt it will be with your comments!!! I was not doing the word verification bit, didn't realise it was crucial.... heyho.
I'll let my Aus friend know as she has been trying to get her view of the World Cup to you guys in US. It took Kit on his birthday to tell me where I was going on. Make sure you all cheer for England v Portugal, we need it. Sarah/Mum/Grandmother To Be, Derby !!
Mum Sarah - Is this your first grandchild? I'll bet you are so excited! Glad to see you figured out the word thingy. I'll be rooting for England!
