World Cup Diary Blog #15

Well it's been a while - but eventually managed to get some time to write again.  The sense of relief in the camp is clear.  The performance on Wednesday was much better and the fans responded as well.

The gaffa seems more relaxed - hugs, back slapping and high fives after the game.  He has even allowed us to have a couple of beers on an evening.  The darts crowd has now taken "Don Fabio's" photo down from the bulls eye.

Upsy Daisy had a good game on Wednesday - some really great tackles and a solid all round performance.  Looks like I'm gonna have to wait a while to get my chance.  Carra's available again after suspension and Ledley's recovered from his groin injury so the gaffa will have a tough decision who to partner with JT.

Full training session in Rustenburg today.  We've been practising penalties - it just can't happen again - can it?  We're feeling pretty confident about beating the old enemy - for example do you know about the curse of Eurovision - no country that has won Eurovision has gone on to win the WC later that same year!  Here are some more reasons why we're confident Goal.com

Mrs D has kept me posted with reaction and news from home.  She watched the game on Wednesday with the cocker spaniels.  Funny though how these so called pundits can't seem to agree - see what ScotStevo from Ireland has to say about the coverage from BBC & RTE in the Daily Record

The WAGS at home are all keeping in touch and starting to think about plans for coming out to Sun City.  Mrs D's been shopping for new outfits - hope she's got something she can wear in South Africa and Skegness.

I'm a bit concerned that Mrs D is getting into this WAG life too much.  There are rumours that she is about to be offered some deal to appear in a TV reality show and I haven't even been of the bench yet - more news about this when she fesses up.  She was certainly disappointed not to have been asked to take part in the WAGs "Come Dine With Me"  Have to admit all this is making me a bit unsettled.  Can't believe she might become more well known and recognisable than me.

No more blogging until Monday - have to focus now.
