Lets hope the players dont suffer with diarrhoea

I dont know any other fans that fight win lose or draw.

Heh good point.

I don't usually get actively involved in England bashing on here tbf but I strongly dispute that it is in any way 'pathetic' or whatever. Think it's pretty fair to not want them in the finals.

Because people can separate club football from international, I love Corluka but Wednesday night i'll be hating him every time he beats Rooney in the air </BLOCKQUOTE>

I still hate Rooney when he plays for England. I just don't break something when he scores.

Anyway when I said 'at the moment' I wasn't referring to the last five minutes, more the past few years. Well done if it was you that set the trend though.

Don't care if people support England, just thought it seems ludicrous that such minor details could really "ruin" a tournament for someone.

What are you going on about, I'm simply making the point that I haven't felt like I have 'at the moment' or because it is 'fashionable' as you suggest.

I was completely undecided about what I wanted to happen today, but as it's started it's become increasingly obvious to me that despite our defeciencies, despite the media mongfest, despite willing the most incompetent manager we've had in years out of the job with my mind, I still want us there.

So mon Israel.

And hang on Italy.

Good man

Russia wasting a lot of balls at the moment. Though Israel defending quite well as well

Looking at the actual makeup of the England squad, there aren't many who I would consider likeable at all. Guess that's more of a justification for not caring rather than being openly anti-England but there you go.

I actually thought your main reason would be that 70% of the England squad are extreamly hatable.

It why I find it hard to support england with any real enthusiasm.

But Corluka is still Corluka, he doesn't change because of the colour shirt he wears. It's a hypocrisy that I've never really got my head around.
