    @JWK I think Boris Becker said that a lot of his money woes were because of the heavy payouts he had to make to his wives when his marriages broke up as they no doubt wanted their pound of flesh.

    Also I think the sponsorship deals these days are a lot more lucrative than when he first won Wimbledon when he was a teenager (17):biggrin:

            I kind of like to see the back of the S. American bunch, cant say I like the way any of them play.
            Brazil, for some reason always seems to be over done.

            If England win, If If If, who do we play next?
            France or Novichok? should they beat Croatia.

                  I get where you’re coming from, I think. I can’t be doing with all that diving/cheating/cynical nonsense. I’m certainly not getting carried away, and it wouldn’t surprise me if we get beat tomorrow, but I think we have a great opportunity to do something special :fingers crossed:
