Fever pitch

I’ve barely had time to make my once-every-four-years World Cup of Soccerball meme and In-ger-land are on the plane home – but later than a Roy Keane tackle, here’s this years quote from (who else) but George Orwell:

“…football, beer, and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.”

Thankfully the Tour de France is on it’s way to lift their eyes a little.
