They're still showing the Serbia Montenegro game. For the first week it was on every day, sometimes twice.... this week they seem to have calmed down a bit and it's only on every other day (but the goals are on every two minutes, along with Maxi's)

In yesterday's lesson (one of them anyway) we used the Observer match report from the Argentina Mexico game. One of the students was very upset at the report because it was incorrect... apparently Mexico didn't have a barrage of chances... he was most upset at the non partisan reporting (in a good natured way). Given that in the staid, upright Clarín there were 12 pages of analysis of Friday's game, and another 5 of related stuff and you can see why they might get a little upset at two columns and the necessary simplicity.

Oh and the article in the Observer was written by a woman.

Which went down well (quote:"so obviously I can't believe any of it" while smiling)
