Peter had his St. George's cross flag close by as he waited impatiently for the match to begin.  England vs. Ecuador with continued participation in the World Cup at stake.

He had run down to J, GOB ostensibly to get some pastries to share for breakfast but really because he couldn't sit still any longer so there was a selection of muffins and doughnuts on one of the tables.

Now for the football to start...


[OOC:  Open to all!  Come cheer for England!  Or Ecuador if you must]

"Oh good," Willow said, looking relieved. Then, trying to sound like she knew what she was talking about, she said, "I see that cross guard's really coming in handy."

"The heat's slowing us down," Walter noted. "We don't get this sort of heat at home. It was a problem when we faced Paraguay, too."

"Would it help if it rained?" Willow asked. "It could make it seem more like home."

"It might. But they're professionals. It's just going to make our win that much better, since the Ecuadorans can't say they aren't used to the heat."

"Ahh, true," Willow said. "Then they can be all smug and tell Ecuador that England could win with one hand tied behind its back!"

Willow frowned. "Though I guess that's not as impressive a statement in soccer."

"No, we can tell them we won with heat stroke." Walter jumped out of his seat to cheer as Beckham scored.

Then grimaced as Beckham was promptly ill afterward. "See?"

"Okay I'm glad you said something," Willow said. "'cause I was thinking that was a really unusual play."

Walter groped for a bright side. "It just goes to show how dedicated we Brits are, yes?"

"Very true," Willow said. "They take a licking and keep on ticking!"
