Gaming on your home computer

Geoff Hurst, to Bryan Robson, Robson to Ball, Ball to Stiles, who spreads a cross field pass to Gazza who suddenly beats three men on a sixpence with a flick, a twist and a mini Cruyff turn, shares a one-two with Shearer, and then squares it to Stanley Matthews who races on to the ball and thumps into the back of the net! GOAL!!!!

England 3, Slovenia 0!

And they’ve only played five minutes.

From the kick-off, the Slovenians shoot, a long, high kick that bounces harmlessly out of play.

Shilton gathers the ball, places it on the six-yard line, and gently rolls a pass to Jack Charlton, ‘The Giraffe’.

But this surprise move from Shilts has caught Big Jack out. He doesn’t seem to know what to do with the ball now, now that it is at his feet.

But he doesn’t panic, and starts to walk forward calmly, team-mates buzzing around him, anticipating a pass, creating space, taking opposing players with them, waiting for Big Jack to offload the ball.

But Big Jack doesn’t release the ball. He suddenly seems to like having it under his control.

And then he seems to get an idea.

Ignoring everyone around him, the giant centre back has a new ambition – cross the halfway line.

My God, everyone shouts, he thinks he’s Bobby Moore!

Charlton ambles up the field, side steps one Slovenian, and then another. The crowd begin to cheer wildly. They like this bold move, this sense of confidence.

Pass it, Jack! Pass it, his England colleagues scream.

But instead of passing, Charlton continues out of defence, beating two more Slovenians, with a shimmy, and shammy, and then a third with a Ronaldo step-over, until he finds himself surprisingly deep into enemy territory.

But he doesn’t panic, does Big Jack, and beats one more Slovenian with a nutmeg.

And suddenly, the pass is on to his brother Bobby, who is bursting into the area, pointing wildly where he wants it.

And brother Jackie doesn’t fail, sliding an inch-perfect pass into Bobby’s path, and the rest is a formality, a Charlton rocket thunderbolting into the net from the edge of the D.

GOALLLL!!!

The Charlton Brothers hug each other beaming widely, while John Motson screams, “England 4, Slovenia 0” in the commentary, adding, “Boy, this England team really mean business tonight.”

And the fans go wild, as the England players celebrate…and Gary, and Paul do high-5s.

Nice pass mate, says Gary to Paul.

Cheers, good finish, says Paul. If only it would be this easy on Wednesday, eh?

As easy as Fifa 2010? Yeah that would be heaven, says Gary.

Thank goodness too for the Intel Home Gaming PC, says Paul. Makes playing Fifa 2010 a whole lot easier and quicker after the overhaul we’ve been giving them.

Well it is one of our most popular models from the old range, so hopefully it will become even more popular, eh? says Gary. The new components inside mean it now has even more power and performance than ever before. This system really is priced to sell and I doubt anyone will find a better price anywhere else.

I should say so, says Paul. Anyone looking for a low priced PC for gaming with a dedictaed 1Gb graphics card that can give them everything they are looking for in a mid range PC, then this baby is definitely the one for them at £379.99.

Built in a very stylish Galaxy III case, too, says Gary.

Their friends will be green with envy, says Paul.
