    That was a real dull match, yet felt like a Cruyff's Holland game next to the horror show that was Ukraine vs Switzerland in the knockout stages.

    Luxury compared to England 0-0 Nigeria in 2002. Bad enough watching a pointless, goalless, tepid excuse for a football match but to get up at around six in the morning and hear John Motson's breakfast bollocks took the cake all for the sake of watching World Cup football because it was there!

     

    Strange really, International football really is the best and worst of the "Beautiful Game". Because on the opposite side of the spectrum we have the cream of the crop, top of the tops, 100%, 24-carat gold stone cold classic that was Spain 4-3 Yugoslavia in Euro 2000...

    Director of two of my all-time favourites, Two-Way Stretch and The Rebel. RIP...

    Damn, I was also sure he was the 3rd hit for the list. Big miss. RIP to one of THE legends of music. But yes, he was 90. A surprise he lasted that long, though I don't know whether he also lived the rock'n'roll lifestyle. I'm surprised there wasn't a Chuck Berry vs. Little Richard poll.

    A surprise omission from the Drop 40 too...

    Incidentally (and belatedly) congratulations to The Living End for becoming the first DDP team in history to pass the 1000 points mark!

     

    Currently on 65pts which makes a grand total of 1021pts...

     

    I salute you!
