It's finally here! We've waited in anticipation and now all our hopes, our dreams and our faith are in the hands of 23 mediocre players with James Milner being our best asset, it's not looking good lads...
We have all speculated whether we can actually win this competition and we've also seen the Carlsberg advert of substituting pessimism for optimism but let's face it, I can see Northern Ireland getting further than us with the mighty Will Griggs... "Your defence is terri-" I'll stop before that song gets anymore infectious. One side of me hopes that we can actually win and become one of the great international teams again but to be honest we have been appalling since we won the World Cup back in 66'.
My predictions for England in this tournament are bleak at best if we make the quarterfinals I will have to down a fishbowl of alcohol, of course, I would never dream of doing such a thing, so it would be an interesting experience... I think the mighty Germans will go all the way just as they did in Brazil and do the double just like Spain did a few years ago as they are just too powerful. I can't see them being stopped, they are like a huge impenetrable fortress who dish out twice as much bombardment as they receive.
Anyway, pessimism out and optimism in even though I'm a realist I will have to compromise for once I guess to get on the bandwagon.What if Rashford is on fire, what if Joe Hart becomes Manuel Neuer combined with Peter Schmeichel and what if Fetty Wap gets his eye back? These are all big ifs but at least the first two could actually happen and that would rock the whole nation just like the Hawthorns was rocking when Aston Villa got relegated. All we can do here at home is get fully behind the lads and that's not an innuendo... Fill the pubs, drink some beer and let's bring Football home lads!
C'mon England!
