Expectations were high on the eigth day of the World Cup and we were certainly given good reason to remember why we started a beer tasting competition four years ago. Mind numbing boredom! No goals! Incompetence!
At least on the beer front things were far more exciting......
We were round at Barrie and Suzie's for a night of snacks, pizzas and beers in front of the TV.
First up was a replay of Greece v Nigeria. In a dramatic about turn after a poor performance on Thursday Nigeria (Star in a can) got a respectable draw against Greece (Vergina). Next was Germany v Serbia and the latter came very close to the second zero of the tournament so far. The Serbian team (Apatinsko)suffered badly from having been decanted from a two litre plastic bottle on Sunday. The score was 2-1 in Germany (Bitburger)'s favour. Another surprise in the Slovenia USA match. We had high hopes of Slovenia (Zlatarog in a can), but in the end quality won and USA (Dixie in a bottle) romped home 4-3. Last and not least was the big match of the day and England (Hop from Greene King) triumphed over a very steady Algeria 4-3.
We wandered home in the light drizzle pondering the dichotomy between the beer and football performances and wondering how much more we could take.....
