It's looking increasingly likely that Stevenage will have another game postponed this weekend as
the 'big freeze' continues in the UK. Weather warnings have been dished out to parts of North West
England, the West Midlands and Southern England while Boro's re-arranged FA Trophy fixture against
Vauxhall Motors was put back again to next Tuesday due to freezing conditions and snow.
After some early shocks, Africa's football "powerhouses" (and Algeria) have scraped into the
quarter-finals. And at times the football has been a joy – if, sadly but understandably,
overshadowed. The gun attack on Togo's team bus put the tournament into perspective, though not a
proper one. Reactions were depressingly Euro-centric, more depressingly Premier League-centric and,
more depressingly still but predictably, Phil Brown-centric.
