24 Hours of Football Heaven

Just when your passion as a Cardiff and Welsh football fan ebbs to a low, the game shows why it provides so much joy and fun.

Wales Under 21's last night were awesome in pasting France even though their average age was 18 and 7 were with the senior squad. Just brilliant to see Aaron Ramsey and Darcy Blake leading the way.

Tonight, no expectation at all and admittedly Germany were unbeliebavbly inefficient but for that side to perform as they did and gain a fantastic draw had me full of pride after a campaign that provided little of it. For Wales to do that shorn of so many players and with half the team City or ex-City men (well done Joe and Chris G) was magic.

Then to see England feck up and have a national stadium on a pitch that wouldn't look out of place at Pontcanna in January topped it all.

I love football - hope City can keep up my rediscovered love for it all this weekend!
