A sporting weekend and a bit

Soccer: NZ 1 - Italy 1. A terrific result for us (I predicted 2-0 to Italy) even though the Ref gave a penalty to Italy that wasn't, but it seems our goal may have been from offside.

Rugby: Wales 9 - AB's 42. A relatively easy win after half time. However, they and Ireland are no SA or Oz although England had a one pointer over England. But I thought England were lucky. Further out I would hope since we stuffed up getting Robbie Deans as our coach we go to Warren Gatland after the World Cup.

Oil: A big spill in the Gulf of Mexico but the Americans seem to have a blind spot - they (like us) need oil. And it seems we have to go offshore. That BP may not have done all they could in the safety area is still not clear. The BP public relations is a real disaster with the CEO going off to watch the yachting. It is all about perception and Obama I would have thought would have been more with it. He is looking more like Bush every day.
