Beau Peep Notice Board

Congrats, Diane! Delighted that Canada are through.
I've decided to apply for the vacant Scottish coach job. I will insist on having my granddaughter as assistant. This will mean that, during training sessions, we will have a lengthy nap break. I'll let you know how I get on.

I gave up on soccer for most of the day yesterday, but then watched two exciting re-caps and some brief goals on my newsfeed.

Glad Ecuador won - especially as I would not have allowed that first German goal - that one guy kicked the Ecuadorian in the face like he was trying out for the Moulin Rouge. That last minute goal by Turkey was exciting but that was all I saw of that match. 

Scotland may have won if they were not up against Brazil, the team and especially the fans brought so much energy and joy to the Americas - they won hearts.

I have decided that watching highlights and full games are two separate things entirely. You know the score on the highlights and just watch the lovely bits. The shows in real time have so many fouls and nasty bits and you don’t know what’s happening until the final whistle. I watched a whole match and the ends of two others yesterday and all three of the teams I was cheering for lost.
 
I had one day of disappointment, not sure how you have handled decades of it Roger.

We shall keep the home fires burning, Roger.

My four year-old granddaughter favours her left foot while kicking a ball around the garden. She also enjoys sliding in any mud that's available. A sort of messy Messi, if you like.
