I hope so, this has been an embarrassment on what is a major sporting spectacle.
Lets move on, and see this decided fairly on the water!

Yet more bad news!
The 2009 America’s Cup in Valencia has been postponed because of a legal row.BMW Oracle Racing and champions Alinghi have been in a dispute over Desafio Espanol’s status as challenger in the prestigious yachting competition.

So, not only have we to wait until 2010 to see England play in an international football tournament (assuming we can qualify!), but now it looks like we won’t even be able to enjoy the spectacle that is the America’s Cup before then either!
This is leaving me feeling rather fed up!

I’ve been following the second one-day match over on the beeb this morning. I can’t quite believe England have out back to back victories together agains the Aussies, and can come home after a tough tour down under with a trophy!
Well done boys, thats a good response after some of the recent lows.
Great result by the boys down under, finally showed a bit of character to beat the Aussies in a competitive match. A fantastic performance by Collingwood to steer the side home.
For the record, England 253-6 beat Australia 252 by four wickets. Via the beeb.
It has been a depressing winter so far, and we look a different side from when we won the Ashes.
Still 1-0 up with two to play, can’t ask for a better start than that!
Congratulations to the European team on winning an unprecedented third Ryder Cup! And not just scraping it, but hammering the Americans 18½-9½ equalling the record points tally from 1999!
There has not been a huge amount of coverage here in Spain, so had to follow it on the Beeb. Oh well!
