We supported Japan for Aya, Korea for Kiseon and France for Joe/Sabrina (Caro couldn't have cared less!). Apart from Kiseon, nobody showed as much devotion to their team as Brian. I took some timer pictures on the night Brian's dream ended and made a cruddy video with sound. Sorry Brian. We'll see you in the final next time . . . and then we'll beat you!<br /><br />Click on picture below to watch video:<br /><br /><embed width="430" height="355" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://s59.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/pokermonatron/EnglandsLastGame.flv"></embed><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23524008-115890170406899867?l=pokermonatron.blogspot.com'/></div>pokermonatronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09320237023770577797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23524008.post-1158901737569909382006-09-21T22:08:00.001-07:002006-09-21T22:08:57.570-07:00<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23524008-115890173756990938?l=pokermonatron.blogspot.com'/></div>pokermonatronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09320237023770577797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23524008.post-1158901719801167392006-09-21T22:08:00.000-07:002006-09-21T22:08:39.803-07:00<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23524008-115890171980116739?l=pokermonatron.blogspot.com'/></div>pokermonatronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09320237023770577797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23524008.post-1158901676776678362006-09-21T22:07:00.002-07:002006-09-21T22:07:56.776-07:00<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23524008-115890167677667836?l=pokermonatron.blogspot.com'/></div>pokermonatronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09320237023770577797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23524008.post-1158901660806166002006-09-21T22:07:00.001-07:002006-09-21T22:07:40.806-07:00<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23524008-115890166080616600?l=pokermonatron.blogspot.com'/></div>pokermonatronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09320237023770577797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23524008.post-1158901640237714512006-09-21T22:07:00.000-07:002006-09-21T22:07:20.236-07:00<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23524008-115890164023771451?l=pokermonatron.blogspot.com'/></div>pokermonatronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09320237023770577797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23524008.post-1158901594961157172006-09-21T22:06:00.002-07:002006-09-28T19:05:08.993-07:00<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pokermonatron/255279675/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/84/255279675_79ac97d88e_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="IMG_0300" /></a><br /><br />Not many pictures here!
