Volunteering for the Last Time

Old Trafford 7th August 2012
Today's the last day I'll be volunteering at Old Trafford - I'll be looking after the VIP's who have come to see a South Korean side, who have vastly overcome expectation, play Brazil the long-standing favourites to win the Gold medal, at quarter to eight. If Korea lose, as the betting sites predict, they still have a fine opportunity to get the Bronze medal against either Mexico or Japan, who play at Wembley today at five o'clock.

Womens Semi Final

I'll be at Old Trafford again, volunteering for the second of the Womens Semi Final matches.
 Canada  v  United States

Hoping to be in charge of puddings again, as I was voted 'Pudding of the Week', which demonstrates just how much faith my colleagues have in me (i think!)

The first Semi Final, is being played at Wembley Stadium, between
 France  v  Japan
Kick off 17:00
Japan doing well with teams in the  Semis for both men and women.

Me in uniform (again)

Old Trafford 4th August 2012
Nice cars for the IOC guests.
Shame about the uniform!
Maybe we could use it to polish the cars afterwards.

Puddings

Big responsibility, but anybody who knows me realises I have considerable experience and great expertise in puddings.

No Gooaall !!

Old Trafford - 1st August 2012, Group D.
Goalless draw. Spain 0 Morocco 0.

Plenty of effort but no goals to show for it.
Decent Mexican waves though.
Strange targeted waterfall fountain from the rain soaked, over-flowing roof.
Luckily it was at half time and spectators had got up from their seats, so most of them didn't get soaked.

Neither Spain or Morocco progress through to the Quarter Finals.
Japan and Honduras go through from Group D.

UAE vs Uruguay underway

Round 1 - Old Trafford - 26th July 2012
Group A - UAE vs Uruguay.


First game at Old Trafford.
United Arab Emirates and Uruguay about to kick off.
Anthems just playing now.
Getting exciting now - although too busy at the moment to watch.
Cavani and Suarez playing for Uruguay - should be good.
Uruguay could be a potential winner of the tournament.
