Yep, definately a stereotypical England fan who would rather point out the faults of other teams than realise his own team won't win
Yes, the difference is we know we're crap - you lot are under the dilusion you're in with a chance of winning the whole thing
Again! Rather than face up to the fact your team will fail yet again, you attack my team
I really don't know who I want to win this game. On one hand this WC has made me lean slightly towards England, yet my nationality dictates I should take pleasure in watching them lose.
Brazil, France, Holland, Argentina - England don't exactly gave a shining record against those? But as you say, who cares - it's not as if England will win the World Cup
England won't win the World Cup. Just accept it - I have!
Because they're not good enough?
Oh and I'll stick my neck out here and say England won't win the World Cup - fact.
Easy - because they're not good enough to win it - so they won't
You've just about gauranteed yourself a pile of gloating PMs when England fail again
Just think - England's World Cup dreams could be OVER in a matter of hours
Because England simply aren't good enough - easy. Other teams have misfired but are impressive sides and play well togather. IMO the same cannot be said about England.

Then you temper it with some droll line like "but I hope they win!", as if it's an afterthought to stop people having a poke at you, judging by what you've posted in this thread, you're certainly not support England in any way and you're just trying to cover your own back.

Actually, and just to play Devils Advocate, there is a difference between
supporting a team and
hoping that team does well - Russ (amongst others) is fully justified in not supporting England, because he's not English, but it doesn't mean that he can't wish them the best in the competition
EDIT: Thinking on, I just see it as the difference between supporting a team and following it - the example being that,even though I don't support Grimsby Town, I always look for their results 'cos I've been living here for 13 years.
