85 minutes of rubbish, 8 of glory


Sam and I hit up Coaches Thursday for some Copa Mundial action. Not much happened until into the 80th minutes as Wayne Rooney's magical appearance off the bench stirred England to put up two licks against Trinidad.


The lanky, sometimes coordinated, 12-foot Peter Crouch finally headered one in off a setup by Beckam, changing the momentum for the better.


Then the Brits managed goal two in the three minutes of final stoppage, completing Sam's projected spread of 2-0. Unfortunately, in Coaches, in the early p.m., nobody much cared that the rest of the world was watching the match. The PGA tour droned just adjacent to the football match on the Coaches big screens. This country's priorities are out of whack.
