Drove up from Munich to Heidelberg last night through the most spectacular electrical storm I have ever witnessed. Absolutely amazing. On to Cologne this morning and it's swinging between baking sunshine and monsoon showers. The TV compound is a bit of a mudbath. Just watched England 'train' - actually a casual warm-up for the benefit of the cameras. Rooney expected to start.</p> Block W13, Row 6, Seat 6 - Stadion Koln.</p>
Do you think Gerard/Lampard are going to start? There was some rumour that Hargreaves or Jenas might come in. </p> YHPM by the way.</p>
What-ho! Nope. Managed to see both England games so far and Brazil-Australia last night. Working right up to kick-off and immediately afterwards, but still see the games. Sat looking at my ticket for tomorra. Route so far has been Frankfurt-Berlin-Nuremberg-Heidelberg-Munich-Heidelberg-Cologne and we go to Stuttgart for Croatia-Australia on Wednesday morning. After that, not sure, probly stay in Stuttgart if Engurland win the group. Nearly 3000km on the clock to date.</p>
Heidelberg - cracking city. Crammed full of totty, all gagging for it... ... well, that's what it was like when I was in tarn. Great Irish bar near the main bridge over the Nekkar.
Hargreaves Starting Gerard to the bench is the wy I'm reading it. Risking Lampards Yellow Card, but saving Gerrard and Crouch for the knockout stages. Do we read into that Sven rates Gerrard more than Lampard? Guessing the your World Cup trip went well mate?
Yeah It was excellent - great atmosphere out there. Shame the England performances weren't up to the rest of the experience </p> Managed to get the London Tykes flag nicely on display at the Paraguay game. Our tickets were next to the match of the day studio so we got some pics with Ian Wright and a few more when we bumped into Victoria Beckam in the burger queue of all places. </p>
Jammy Git Massive posh spice fan, although I'm sure a certain London Tyke will insist she's ugly as sin, just like Anna Friel!!!! When you getting ur Cardiff photos on display? Saw the London Tykes Flag, fantastic job done there
You're not wrong, D! We had our first afternoon & evening 'off' there. Sensational place, groaning with unfeasibly attractive students, or so it seemed. Cracking night out - Vetters Brahaus, then Bar Mohr for a spot of, ahem, people-watching. I'm gonna try and engineer another stop there into our schedule.</p>
