OK – I’m torn. England’s journey through the World Cup has been nothing if not romantic. It’s a wonderful story and I can only congratulate the team and their supporters. Believe me, as a Welshman, that’s not a easy sentence to write. On the other hand, I pray to (a non-existing) god that they don’t win again. There’s really nothing on this earth that’s more repulsive than an English rugby fan when they’ve won something.
Daveb, surely England football fans are more repulsive when they win? Anyway, congratulations to England (both teams). Don't you have a dilemma next Saturday, David? The final v. Richard Thompson at the Roundhouse.
You're right Ken, the football fans ARE more repulsive but luckily they never win anything. God knows what the press would do if they did. Are there enough trees on the planet to cover the (admittedly unlikely) eventuality?
And the final v. RT would be a real no-brainer if I didn't live in Munich.
Yes indeed. To be top of a group containing France, Italy and the Ukraine is quite incredible.
