My Two Pence


Well! What can I say? Once again we hype the pants of the England players (sorry ladies, figure of speech, not literally) and talk about it being our best chance in 40 years, and for what? Yup! for us to get knocked out in the Quarter finals once again.

Is it the managers fault we lost? I'm sure everyone would love to point the finger at Sven, he is the easiest target isn't he? It has absolutely nothing to do with the eleven men running around on the pitch like headless chickens....Nooooo!! It's all Svens' fault. Sure he made some dubious decisions like taking a player he never saw play, only to do exactly what Wenger has been doing all premiership season long, (have Theo warm the bench), (as if it wasn't hot enough in Germany) but after all that's said, the bottom line is England just suck at the very game we invented.

I wouldn't even care if we went out with a 2-1 score line after 90 minutes, but we always seem to lose on penalties in big games.

Oh well! roll on 2010 when we'll be saying "This time they'll do it, after 44 years of hurt".

C'mon Engerland!!
