.....and today I had ten quid at 8-5 that there'd be 6 goals or less. I'd written it off after the first two matches produced 5. Should have known I could depend on good old England to come up trumps.
Alan Green seemed to think it was the worst game he'd seen at this World Cup, the worst England performance he could ever remember, and that there wasn't a single England player who had even a half decent game. Wayne Rooney was "disinterested" apparently.
Green must be wrong of course. I know that England are a magnificent unit, crammed full of World class players, and that it is a privilege beyond price to be able to watch them. Although I've suffered nearly every kick of the 44 years since we last actually won anything, I know in my heart of hearts that playtime is now over, and we will whup Slovenia before going on to glory.
Forza Inglaterra ! Onwards and upwards !
Must go now, the men in white coats are at the door............
