Not so much the England team but seeing the English Broadcasting Corporation are already starting to go overboard on the coverage.

Still it might be an idea for another competition, taking bets on how long it is into the commentary that 1966 is mentioned (It was 7 minutes last time), how long before Rooneys injury is blamed for a loss and for the 1st football hooligans to be described as 'British' instead of English.

The thought of Motty dribbling over Rooney, at least in the early stages of the competition, has at least been avoided.

But your right - get the stopwatch out - i'd be VERY suprised if the even make it to kick off.

British Isles goes for nothing.

I'd support Ireland because I'm half Irish, or Spain because that's where my dad lives. :shrug:
