Home > Story Index >World Cup Diaries – Day One.

Date: 31st May 2002
Friday: France0 Vs 1Senegal. My Prediction was 3-0 to France. Nevermind!
Location: Sports Pub, Vรƒยคxjรƒยถ, Sweden, very big screen with a few smaller supplimentryones.
Morning Status: Still drunk after nightclub last night. Awake at 9.30 but couldn’t move so well. It was 60p a bottle of beer last night, sohad to make the most of it!! Spent ร‚ยฃ20 somehow, only in my basement, so no taxi’s and only ร‚ยฃ1.35 to get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who Watched With: 7 French people, 1 Bosnian, 1 Chilean, 2 Spanish, 5 Americans oh andone very happywelsh guy.
Beers Drunk: Only 4 during the game, 1 after, รƒโ€ฆbro Original 5.3%, strong shit!!
Favourite Chant of the Day: "Wheres Your World Cup Gone" (Just happened to be me)
Favourite Moment: Watching the French leave straight after the whistle, I mean straight after!
Atmosphere: Very busy and Very funny and some Senegalise fans there too, the French Nation’s table was as grim as my prospects of surviving until the end of thenightclub tonight!
Food: Mmmm, Kebabrulle, Kebab in a naan bread type of substance, rolled up to look like a baguette.
Money Spent: Not so much in the pub, ร‚ยฃ10, ร‚ยฃ4 in the pizza parlour, then ร‚ยฃ38 on 2 bottles of whiskey and 8 cans in the state run off license. (Only LEGAL place to buy alcohol over 3.8%, & a good tax raising place for the government!!)
Prospects For France After Result: Still gonna qualify but may meet Spain in next round if they finishh second!! Should think they’ll still finish top though!!
Entertainment Value of Game: Pretty Good, 7/10.
Man of the Match: Frank Lebouef, Swedes gave it to some Senegalise player with long name.
Local Wildlife: Not so many girls, although did tease the 2 French birds, a few Swedish but mainly gimp like swedish men.

Prospects For Tonight: Going to student nightclub on campus, gonna be drunk after the few beers this afternoon, then the whisky and beer tonight. At least I know I’m going there this week, turned up at another nightclub last week and didn’t know I’d been out, even though went there and spent ร‚ยฃ25, sounds like good night to me.
Ability To Get Up For Tomorrows Games: Probably very unlikely, although should catch the later ones, could beup though, 1 hour ahead here compared to you lot.
Tomorrows Predictions: Ireland V Cameroon. Very tight but, 2-3. Uraguay V Denmark. Not so tight, 0-2. Germany V Saudi Arabia. No repeat of Saudi heroics, 3-1.
General Comments: Oh well thats my diary for today, I think that I may have a hard job to get up for the Rep.Ireland V Cameroon game, but I’ll have a go, should be at home, though German game ison Digital so need to go to pub.
