35 minutes... then I get to watch Tak squirm... like a worm on a fish hook...

GO GO GO GO GO GO SLOVAKIA!

Not squirming yet but I'm quite nervous at the moment. Ah well, may the best one win (and please no penalties).

Some half an hour before the end of the game, it's... game over. As I predicted:

Slovakia will be an easy game for us, ...

Well, the devil is in the next opponent. Hold on to your memes, Rot, hold on to your nerve wrecking prophecies, Tak, next time: there will be blood ;).

Well, that was a decent game. Let's see what they do against Italy or Spain. Hope it's going to be Italy first, it's always good to get them out of the way first (if we make it, that is).

We have one advantage over both teams: 24 hours more recovery time. This alone can make the difference.

Spain seemed exhausted and kinda helpless to me, their game was almost painful to watch at times. Italy played very well, they have a few new tricks up their sleeves which we have to find a cure against. Will be fun. :)

Oh, and England will win tonight, anything else will not be accepted, lads and lasses! :D

I thought, I did not understand it, too, so I looked it up:

England hasn't disappointed in disappointing its fans since 1967.

Now at least, I'll sleep well tonight. Thanks Charlie.

I love watching England lose on itv, just to hear them talk about how embarrassing and humiliating it is. Like they are some sort of giants of the game. Then I switch over to hear old Didi Hamann on Irish tv on a rant about how crap English football is. How "the English media has been selling a Skoda as a Lamborghini the past 15 years!" And how "the premier league is a fraud!" And finally "those English players should light a candle every night because if they were Icelandic they would not be making half the money they do." On RTE they have no filter, because well no one cares. So the commentators they have say what they want.

Damien Duff was sat there, mouth wide open, like "this dude is popping off big time." And I was shouting "preach! Preach!" At the tv. And a good night was had by all.

Greece went all the way in 2004 and that didn't compute either.

True.

I just want to know what really happened here. I mean, I occasionally watch Premier League games and see lots of great players whose skills are on par with many European teams but somehow England is unable to put together a decent national team.

Maybe they need new perspectives and a coach who can see the writing on the wall.

Every time england fall flat on their faces in a competition people jump to their defence in terms of there being too much pressure heaped on the players. England expects, all that kind of thing.

I can't remember a competition in my lifetime that people expected less from an England side. There's been no media fanfare, no vocal expectations from any of the usual quarters in fact. And in the face of historically low expectation, England have still managed to under perform!

It almost makes me feel proud.

Lol, It's that viking blood.

After the trouble they gave everyone in group F, I knew England was going to have their hands full. Was not surprised they won this match. I like Iceland and hope they keep it up but France is going to be a different animal.

Word is, they're so into Premier League, that practically nothing else exists. And if I look at the money they make there, I almost believe that. The other major "misunderstandings" are England's recent managers: A-W-F-U-L. Example: How could they nominate that Swede? Eriksson pushed English international football back to the dark ages... and then some. The FA should develop some ambition fast and change their attitude towards international championships or it's not going to work. Like ever.
