The World Cup group H results were in. Japan and Columbia progress to the next round. England and Belgium are already qualified, but which one they play and what day they play is decided by the result of the England Belgium game later.

Tony: Who do we play then?
Me: We don't know yet.
Tony: No. *When do we play?
Me: We don't know that either.
Tony: No. What day do we play who?
Me: We don't know yet.
Tony: No! Who do we play on Tuesday?
Me: We don't find out until later if we're even playing on Tuesday.
Tony: I just want to know who to hope for.
Me: I don't understand.
Tony: I'm working Monday, so I want to know what result to hope for today so we play on Tuesday.
Me: Oh...I'm not convinced hoping is going to change anything.
Tony: Muh..

One of the worst.

Tony came in from work just after the end of the Egypt vs Uruguay World Cup match. This was the insipid second game of the competition which ended 0-1, following yesterday's far more entertaining 5-0 opener between Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Tony: See the game?
Me: Yeah.
Tony: One of the worst so far weren't it?
Me: Yeah. One of the worst of the 2 games so far.
