Mistakes

So i'm sitting here listening to one of my favourite Pink Floyd song, now those of you who know me would assume it would be something written by Roger Waters one of my favourite song writers. However that would be a mistake (ah the links write themselves) it's actually a David Gilmour number, from Momentry Lapse of Reason(which some Pink Floyd fans might call a mistake in itself). The song is One Slip which i think is increadibly relevant to the topic in hand.

I also think it should be the soundtrack of this years world cup. To list the mistakes i have seen; Green vs USA, The Algerian keeper vs Slovenia, the Serbian defender that gave a penalty against Ghana, the Australians for being Australian, the Argentina defender who basically gave Korea a goal and finally me for making bad picks on my Jimungo account.

We all have our perfect world cups set out in our heads, how games should go, which teams are better than the others and we never really account for the little mistakes that can go wrong, how can we i guess, we can never predict that one slip that tends to happen, only make a little contingency in the back of our heads that something bad will happen, best laid plans of mice (yes cheesy plans) and men gang aft agley (can go wrong) yada yada yada.

The best we can do is not be suprised when it does happen (i've been an England supporter since i could think so i've gotten rather good at it) and ultimatly not get too disheartened when things finally go wrong.

Now i when i say we all have our perfect world cups i don't just mean the competition, in life we have our own little event, very important to us, planned out in a way that would be perfect to us. Not only in football but in life can we shrug off those "one slips" and do our best to push through.

Peace out and hopefully you won't feel that reading this was a mistake
