After no sleep, preparing to leave home myself, I felt like telling the trainer to back off nleave me on the bench for a bit. But this game stops for noone — film, play football, catch ferry, hire car, over tape already beautifully captured shots, remember Ive still not slept, remember sunglasses on top of White Cliffs and all under a Spring dawn sun, over the East, the direction of our travel, totally excited and totally tired.
The gaffers asking me to keep my eyes on the ball, but they close.
More from Moscow soon.

o.k. Phil now you got some sleep & even passed Berlin let us see some pics from kicking the ball to Moscow…
Photos are on their way… got some wicked ones of the Spartak Moscow game we went to yesterday, but they are charging $10 per 15 minutes in this ‘business centre’ and that’s just a bit too much to spend the time uploading. Our host Fraser is back from London tomorrow, so we’ll post some then.
Off to see a local Moscow derby between Dynamo and Locomotiv today, so there should be lots more to come very soon!
