It was a draw but we have a winner (sort of!)

Well, some comedy goal keeping prevented England’s (less than) glorious 1-0 victory (and yeah, before you say anything or start the USA!USA! chant, my mother could have stopped that one and you only had one other real chance in the game!) That’s the beautiful game for you! It was a shame because it killed the game and the second half was painfully dull. Oh well, here’s hoping for better from both teams on the 18th. Remember, skip work, head to the Ale House for the morning game (USA vs Slovenia) have a bloody mary and a beer or two, grab some lunch and chill then it’s time for some Bulldog Bitter and England vs Algeria (and remember folks the light rail is just a half block away and the Charm City Circulator stops just down the street!)

So, on to the previous week’s Friday Question for a growler of Bulldog Bitter, an Oliver’s t-shirt and a couple of bottles of something interesting… I asked for the final score of the England USA game and who scored first. This is a tricky one … 2 people guessed the scoreline but Greg went for the USA scoring first and Dave G didn’t specify who scored first so technically, no winner. However, as you know we love giving stuff away here at Oliver Ales so each of them will get a growler and t-shirt … I’m going to save the bottles for a future question. Both will be entered into the end of tournament grand draw to win a team jersey. Congratulations gentlemen. E-mail me (steve.oliverale@gmail.com) to arrange pick-up of your prizes.

Don’t forget to enter the current Friday Question to win some beer and a chance to enter the grand draw for a World Cup team shirt of your choice (subject to availability). Get it on!
