HONDURAS 0-1 CHILE

OK - some serious catching up to do. Full day in office (Wed) has left me needing to write three entries prior to Argentina - South Korea (a game I am thoroughly looking forward to...). This is being made all the more difficult by a team of workmen banging away on my roof.

This is not a euphemism.

Watched Honduras - Chile online while listening to the Five Live commentary. This is a trick that is really bearing fruit as, in this instance, the radio was a full 20 seconds ahead of the pictures. This enabled me to down tools whenever something interesting happened in my ears and give the pop-up window my full concentration.

I'm not exactly re-inventing the wheel to say that Chile were good value for this one, although I was convinced their goal was an own goal. But I guess that's why I don't work for FIFA: an organisation who it appears, by a growing number of accounts, have re-invented the ball.

For the record, my favourite World Cup ball is the 1974 vintage:
