Ok ok ok, so England played really well last night, stuffed Croatia 4-1 in Zagreb, and "teenage wonderkid" Theo Walcott scored a fantastic hat-trick. I'm English, and I'm a football fan, so I'm happy.
But it's times like these that contribute more than anything else towards the fact that every other country, and I mean EVERY other country, HATES England more than any other team. If you believe much of what's in the tabloid press this morning, christ you may as well get on the phone to FIFA right now and tell them not to bother holding the 2010 World Cup, just engrave England's name on the trophy and ship it over to FA Headquarters. One of the papers, might have been The Sun or the Star, not sure which one, anyway one of the comics, devoted eleven, yes ELEVEN, pages to the game. ELEVEN PAGES?! It's laughable.
England have won a QUALIFYING game, played really well, and unearthed a young star in the making. I'll repeat that - a QUALIFYING game. Not the World Cup Final. So lets get it in perspective for god's sake; the game does not prove, by any stretch of the imagination, that they are world-beaters.
