The BBC pundits were hoping for the final match to be rained out, just to be sure England win. If the footballers can win this weekend, I guess most sports fans will be happy (watch live on ZDF, free satellite fans - why is Sky allowed England matches as well as their Premiership monopoly?) Meanwhile, the third Grand Tour of the year, la Vuelta a Espana, is underway. No British front-runners and it's not the Tour de France, so it doesn't get a look-in on the TV schedules. The Tour of Britain kicked off from Glasgow yesterday, reaching Sheffield tomorrow and finishing with a criterium by the palace of Westminster on Sunday: where the heck is the BBC coverage? At Olympics time (where Brits win medals), they rave about cycling and then ignore it for four years... If you're anywhere near the route,have a good day out! http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2005/aug05/britain05/ It’s great to see the cricket going well.
