Nigeria v England
Wednesday 12th June 2002 7.30 BST, Osaka
Nigeria 0 England 0

How dreadfully dreary!! Thank goodness, the BBC had the other game on their digital channel, so didn't have to suffer this. I had it on the small TV on this pc though and could see it from where I was sitting. Every time I looked over, all I saw were surges of lime green dashing up the pitch, like an army of meally bugs!!
Not too much in the way of euphoria in the country after this game, I shouldn't think. Going to have your work cut out against Denmark, England!
