Match
Yesterday saw the almighty clash of *ahem*, Liverpool and erm, Sparta Prague. Not wanting to miss out on any action packed sporting prowess, I secured myself a neat little bar stool in Cafe Kick - an amazing little bar in Exmouth Market. Not only do they show the footy, but they have 2 fooseball tables, tapas, South American music and an impressive range of cocktails and beers to boot. If ever a place was designed for my liking, then this is it!
The match was pretty evenly balanced for the majority and it took until the 86th minute for Liverpool to set themselves apart. Dirk Kuyt headed in a corner from Miereles, an apt reward for yet another wholehearted performance. Someone I was watching the game with, compared Kuyt to an eager puppy and I totally agree. He frequently has a poor first touch, but he works about a million times harder than everyone else on the pitch, hence his results. I always thought that our best striker would’ve been somone combining Kuyt's work ethic with Torres’ skill. Ahh, to dream.
Kit
This morning I was sent an email (at 8:02am to be precise) from my good friend and fellow wannabe Scouser, regarding our new away kit. I’ve never been a fan of the yellow monstrosities that we tend to opt for, so I actually quite like it. I realise this is an unpopular opinion, but a. it’s mine and b. it’s only an away kit!

Cricket
My morning commute became joyous, the moment I had The Sport magazine shoved into my hand. I did the same thing I do every week, head straight for Simon Caney’s column. This week he spoke about ODI Cricket, saying that the format adopted for the World Cup is slow, dated and dull. I'm inclined to agree. 5 day tests are there to satisfy the traditionalists and 20/20 matches add pace and entertainment to the sport. It’s natural then that this 50 overs malarky would end up being a bit pointless. Nevertheless I hope that we, and by we I mean England or India (it’s totally my perogative), do well. Good luck lads.
