How could i forget the cricket 
Is that the game where they all wear white and you cant tell one team from the other?
Nope. That's the game they all wear white and you can tell one team from the other.

It's the game where you pray for a heatwave, a deck chair and a very loooong sleep.

All brought on by copious amounts of Pimms and you have it in a nutshell. 
congrats Colonge 1, one day England might have a set up that can do justice to the country and their heads right; where they are not up their own arses thinking they've won the world cup before they get out of the tunnel. Can't see it with the FA and Prem League to be honest.
Indeed, Xochi
Why are the staff of Air Emirates standing behind Sepp and his cronies?

And elbowing Angela Merkel out of the way too!

England has a very good young team, but somehow they get lost somewhere as they get older.
Sad to see Alan Hanson go although his schtick was to moan about defences. I don't think that spiel really justified his hefty BBC salary. Although he was pretty spot on in his assessments though, unlike his clueless camp team mate Lawro.
The thought of the over hyped "best league in the world" starting again in a month makes me want to vomit.

I felt that England had a better attitude this time out, I did not get the impression we thought we would win it. But you have to look at the two countries, where football in Germany appears to be more with the people and here it's all about the money.

I think Bethni might lend you her bucket, Crunchy.
You have to give it back in time for the Euros though

To be honest I'm pleased to see the back of Hanson, he is such a mood hoover and is a constant misery and it detracts from any point he has to make. I doubt we will have too much longer with Lawro either, now just need to ease out Shearer and Rio and get some fresh faces in.

It would seem that around the world it is very popular and probably goes a fair way to justifying the tag.

Absolutely!
I felt that but it wasn't all that much of an improvement. If I recall correctly, a season ticket at Bayern Munich costs less than a season ticket for Colchester.
We need to get our young players out playing in other top leagues in Europe.
Unfortunately our players seem to be so overpriced that only English clubs are stupid enough to pay the fees. Luke Shaw for ÂĢ30m is taking the piss.
Ross Barkley would benefit a lot from going to play for a club like Borussia Dortmund or Sevilla, not one of the big heavy weights, but a top European club where he'd get a football education. Now because everton probably value him at about ÂĢ30m+ which is at least twice what he's worth, he'll end up warming Man City or Man United's bench for a few years before ending up either back at everton or somewhere like Aston Villa.
