I want England to win, but I don't think I can take this all again for another 5 games as we just scrape through.
Perhaps best to get it over and done with. Then we can say we are as crap as France.

France's extenuating circumstances were entirely of their own making
Not playing to your potential is shameful, but choosing not to play to your potential because you're too busy throwing strops and acting like children is inexcusable

But they are french
and don't have the winning mentality of the english. Even if it is misplaced.

The English clearly don't have a winning mentality
Else we would have won some games.

As I said, the mentality has been misplaced, for years.

We loaned it to Brazil in the late 50's
They keep saying they'll give it back eventually

We'll make up some excuse though
Wayne Rooney had a broken back or something.

If we lose today
There will be no excuse, unless the referee does something atrocious. If we just get outplayed by Slovenia for fucks sakes, then the media will crucify the team and Capello will walk. However the referee for today's match is German, so a bad decision by him gives them something to blame it on

I have a feeling you are going to be pretty fucked off by the end of the game.
Forget about England winning, shit happens.

Can't help it
Regardless of how much I try to temper my expectations I always end up in the same embarrassing drunken state
