BACK FROM SJP!

Shouldn't have got so excited really. It was fab to be back inside the ground, seats were brilliant, but sadly the football didn't live up to expectation. There was little atmosphere, especially during the first match - Japan v Morocco and I have to confess to almost nodding off at times. The second match was livelier and somewhat bad tempered, but it was such a disappointment to see Spain beaten by Honduras, as I had expected to witness a footballing masterclass and it really wasn't. The main problem was that we weren't watching Newcastle I suppose. Obviously we felt no emotional attachment to any of the teams, so the sense of excitement that I had before we went was completely unfounded.
