"homelife essentials"

basically, people spend their long semester breaks going overseas, camping, clubbing, going to theme parks, even the odd hotel room stay...i just stay at home, eat, sleep, watch football, play video games and record songs. which, is quite unfulfilling; as the promise of brazil slips away little by little, i've really got no choice but to do all the things that i'd probably be doing in brazil...only that i'm doing them here. which is quite a bummer.

i'm resigned to my temporary fate.

anyway, tonight's england v portugal. notice how i mentioned england first. i know that portugal are the host nation, and i know that rooney's overrated, but england really are the better team. if portugal could only edge out spain with one goal [from rui costa, no less]...i know it's not easy, but, c'mon...then we're in for a good match. england's defence has always been leaky [those two croatian goals were down to blunderful defending], but they've got a potent midfield/attacking squad. i really do believe that michael owen will find his form; i personally think that it's still too early to call rooney a genius. he might end up as another gascoigne if he's not careful. and ditto for his temperament, despite what eriksson says.

so my prediction for tonight? since i know next to nothing: england 2 - portugal 1. lord, i hope i get through this.
