poptimistsAfter a promising opening day or two (results for Germany, Ecuador, England and T&T) the Pop World Cup's stock as a predictor for the actual world cup seems to have taken a sharp drop. Even so, in the only competition that ACTUALLY MATTERS - so much so that trolls from one band's OFFICIAL SITE have been flooding my inbox with to-be-ignored 5-point votes - there is still one day to vote in the semi finals:
Iran v Czech Republic
Portugal v France
Votes by noon tomorrow, results after lunch tomorrow!
In other news!! The following email reaches me:
"Hello
I am the man who wrote half of Daz Sampson's 'Teenage Life' (i.e. I'm not Daz Sampson) and this song has been written to express my moral outrage at the extremely low quality of football songs these days...

Call it a cash-in for my synth duo on the back of my fleeting Eurovision status if you will, but there's no denying that "With the world at your feet there's no heart you can't reach, this could be the one" is about as offensive to the English language as you can get without being Stan Boardman. And Boardman makes you want to support Germany anyway.
Thankyou for the memories
