Rebuilding the dream

DARE we speak of the green shoots of recovery?

I’m not talking about the economy, obviously. Okay, I might be the guy who tipped Liverpool for the Premier League but even I’m beginning to have doubts now about that whole soft landing thing.

Nope, I’m talking about recovery from Paris, the Hand of Gaul and all that atonal jazz. I’m talking about something that might give us reason to look beyond the horizon of next summer’s World Cup.
