My Prediction was 3-0 to France. Nevermind! <\/div>\n<div><em>Location:<\/em> Sports Pub, V\u00c3\u00a4xj\u00c3\u00b6, Sweden, very big screen with a few smaller supplimentryones. <\/div>\n<div><em>Morning Status:<\/em> Still drunk after nightclub last night. Awake at 9.30 but couldn&#8217;t move so well. It was 60p a bottle of beer last night, sohad to make the most of it!! Spent \u00c2\u00a320 somehow, only in my basement, so no taxi&#8217;s and only \u00c2\u00a31.35 to get in!!!!!!!!!!!!! <\/div>\n<div><em>Who Watched With: <\/em>7 French people, 1 Bosnian, 1 Chilean, 2 Spanish, 5 Americans oh andone very happywelsh guy. <\/div>\n<div><em>Beers Drunk: <\/em>Only 4 during the game, 1 after, \u00c3\u2026bro Original 5.3%, strong shit!! <\/div>\n<div><em>Favourite Chant of the Day:<\/em> &quot;Wheres Your World Cup Gone&quot; (Just happened to be me) <\/div>\n<div><em>Favourite Moment:<\/em> Watching the French leave straight after the whistle, I mean straight after! <\/div>\n<div><em>Atmosphere:<\/em> Very busy and Very funny and some Senegalise fans there too, the French Nation&#8217;s table was as grim as my prospects of surviving until the end of thenightclub tonight! <\/div>\n<div><em>Food:<\/em> Mmmm, Kebabrulle, Kebab in a naan bread type of substance, rolled up to look like a baguette. <\/div>\n<div><em>Money Spent:<\/em> Not so much in the pub, \u00c2\u00a310, \u00c2\u00a34 in the pizza parlour, then \u00c2\u00a338 on 2 bottles of whiskey and 8 cans in the state run off license. (Only LEGAL place to buy alcohol over 3.8%, &amp; a good tax raising place for the government!!) <\/div>\n<div><em>Prospects For France After Result:<\/em> Still gonna qualify but may meet Spain in next round if they finishh second!! Should think they&#8217;ll still finish top though!! <\/div>\n<div> Entertainment Value of Game: Pretty Good, 7\/10. <\/div>\n<div><em>Man of the Match: <\/em>Frank Lebouef, Swedes gave it to some Senegalise player with long name. <\/div>\n<div><em>Local Wildlife:<\/em> Not so many girls, although did tease the 2 French birds, a few Swedish but mainly gimp like swedish men. <\/p>\n<div><em>Prospects For Tonight:<\/em> 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&#8217;m going there this week, turned up at another nightclub last week and didn&#8217;t know I&#8217;d been out, even though went there and spent \u00c2\u00a325, sounds like good night to me.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div> 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.<\/div>\n<div><em>Tomorrows Predictions:<\/em> 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. <\/div>\n<div><em>General Comments:<\/em> 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&#8217;ll have a go, should be at home, though German game ison Digital so need to go to pub. <\/div>\n<div> Adj\u00c3\u00b6 fr\u00c3\u00a5n Svensk Swan, f\u00c3\u00b6r nu! <\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Would you like to contribute to the JackArmy.net World Cup Diaries?
