Sorry folks, but I can’t resist it. I’ve got to have a quiet gloat at England being Frog-marched out of the Rugby World Cup—and the emergence of my beloved Wales as contenders to become world champions. Every self-respecting Taff—male and female—is a rugby union fan. And to see our boys (and most of them are little more than boys) playing so brilliantly over in New Zealand...

 I know you guys across the Pond will be furious—but here in Europe we have a ball game which leaves your so-called ”football” for dead. If you Yanks hadn’t disappeared from the real world into the Bushes (by George, what a clever play on words), you would realise that FOOTBALL is actually the game the rest of the world plays—the one you refer to over there...

Whether the story is apocryphal rather than factual  is your call, Charlie. DON’T CALL US: During their 1978 tour of Australia, the great Welsh team of that era tried all sorts...

During last summer’s World Cup, I wrote a magazine article in which I described Sepp Blatter, the most powerful administrator in world soccer, as ”an ageing plonker”. I now accept that the FIFA chairman is not ageing. He’s decrepit. Indeed, he is so far past his sell-by date that I suggest his native Switzerland considers putting him out of his misery.
