I’m in Ottawa – watching England v Paraguay.

This is my second world cup outside the UK – during the last tournament we were in Utah doing our relocation visit. I distinctly remember sitting in a hotel room watching England play.

This morning I found the match on the TV in my hotel. I watched the first England goal with dispassionate Chinese commentary. That really didn’t help me. So I hunted around – and now I’ve found that match with real BBC commentary. Beautiful.
