Update suggests that I've posted something before which I haven't. This is the first opportunity I've had to bring you up to speed with our progress in Argentina. Monday was the cup's opening ceremony. It was quite 'fruity' but the Titans attracted a fair amount of media interest. Photos of the Titans dancing have appeared in worldwide media:

This photo was also on the front page of one of the Argentinian newspapers. Other pics from the opening ceremony made the front page of one of the Danish national newspapers (as one of our two teams has been boosted by the inclusion of 6 Danish players.) Even the good old BEEB reported on the opening ceremony and although the picture suggests that it's Leftfooters, it is in fact our very own Mat Baker sporting our new kit (courtesy of http://www.clublinefootball.com/). See the report at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7010077.stm
We have even featured on an ITN news bulletin (The Titans Reds can be seen playing at the end of this clip): http://video.uk.msn.com/v/en-gb/v.htm?g=4658830d-496b-49bc-968c-a1dfc0894500&f=en-gb&fg=rss
Stage 1 of the competition has now ended with both our teams recording victories in the group stages (Titans Red over Mexico and Titans Yellow over Royal Canadians). We are on a rest day today before the knock out stage of the competiton begins tomorrow. London Reds have a derby with the London Leftovers and London Yellows are playing Seattle Rain. If both teams win then we are destined for a Titans showdown in the next round.
I've been doing my best to keep out of range of the cameras but seemed to have failed: http://www.gettyimages.com/Search/Detail.aspx?axd=DetailPaging.Search1&axs=077016235%2c77016200%2c77016124%2c77015843%2c76306071%2c76097754%2c76097695%2c76064998%2c76062795%2c76062406%2c73159731%2c72874437%2c73159710%2c73159621%2c73159668%2c2531046%2c1589793%2c75877583%2c1589638%2c1589627%2c497895%2c4978930&id=77016200
All in all though we are having a great time. I haven't got time on this post to bring you up to date with the off pitch goings on, I've leave that for others.

Well done boyz! Keep it going!
Not sure about the word "dancing" applied to that photo of you in the opening ceremony though - you not heard of the Trade Descriptions Act?
For your info Falcons beat Nottingham 2-1 on Sunday ... and Chav scored ...
Have fun! More updates soon please!
