June 16th

We arrived in South Africa today. Things aren't looking too good for England. We only drew the first game,1-1. The question now is: will we be able to enter next round?

Well,our next two games are against Algeria(阿尔及利亚)and Slovenia(斯洛文尼亚),so our chances must be good.

June 18th England vs. Algeria

We almost missed the beginning of the game because we weren't able to find a taxi to get us to the stadium(体育场).The game was awful!Our great hope,Rooney,didn't do much. Sometimes I think he'll never be able to score for England again!Well,perhaps he'll be better in the next game. Hope so.

June 23th England vs. Slovenia

We didn't see this live as we couldn't get tickets. So we watched it on a big screen in the city centre. It was great there,the atmosphere(氛围)was fantastic. There were people from all over the world and we could hear lots of different languages. We met some people from Slovenia. It's Germany next.
