Thankfully subbed after 80 minutes, my work done, I display a thumb for each goal.

Having taken the plunge and made the permanent move from England to New Zealand, this website (not blog, hate that word) was born out of sheer bone idleness. Emailing people to tell them what I was up to over here sounded like far too much effort. Now the effort is squarely on the shoulders of my readers who have to trawl through regular tales of drunken nights out and quiz questions. Enjoy...

Does any other former Kaye FC player ever remember OG bagging a brace? Thought not. We therefore require independent conformation that:
1. The standard of football is not so poor as to render your goals null and void,
2. That you're not making it up.
There's a way to settle this once and for all - to beam your next match to us via satellite for our viewing ‘pleasure’.....
Not that I’m belittling your achievement or anything!
I also need some video evidence. Some of those other 'players' look a bit special to me.
I'm hurt by your combined lack of faith that I couldn't make the transition from 6-a-side legend to the 11-a-side game.
I'll try and get Rob to confirm the expertly taken goals and standard...
I will be the independent judge of OG's goal-scoring exploits (although I do play in the team). I wouldn't call his strikes Tony Yeboah-esque bullets from 35 yards but they were expertly taken. I would compare him to a young Efan Ekoku in his Wimbledon days. Doesn't look like he's trying but just seems to pop them in. It's a talent I guess...
As for the standard of the football, it's actually pretty bloody good. Someone tried a stepover in the last game...
i also concur that i have seen owen score two goals in the past. not sure ive seen him pass though... or is that pete?
We're both as greedy as each other.
Note I did get an assist in this game. Although if I'm being honest, I was trying to get into a shooting position but was forced wide and had no option but to lob it into the middle.
Stanley Matthews I aint.
Go on then OG. Use your extensive football knowledge to predict the score of the game tomorrow then.
I reckon 2-1 to Portugal after a frankly shocking second half display and some strange substitutions. I also think that some dodgy keeping will come in to play and that Portugal will score from a set piece.

Nostradamus
Rooney will cap a fantastic first half performance by putting us 1 up. Second half will start poorly and deteriorate from there. Off will go Rooney, Joe Cole and Gerrard. On will come Carragher, Jenas and Wayne Bridge (all 3 into holding midfield role).
Portugal equalise with 15 minutes left and a miracle gets us to extra time.
Shock of all shocks though, we get a dodgy penalty when Ronaldo gets booked for diving in his own area and Lampard, after missing several open goals, scores it to put us through.
It's that simple.
Frankly, shocker. The country is in shock OG. The best chance of doing really well in many years has gone. Ronaldo will be hung, drawn and quartered in the unlikely event he's still playing for the Mancs next season.
