I refer you to Terry 'the original JT' Butcher...

Each to their own and all that, but it's £#%&!ing torture being in this country at times, the nation uniting behind Sven's/Mac's/Fabio's/Roy's Boys, believe, bulldog spirit, fight to the death, end our 50 years of hurt etc.

I can't £#%&!ing stand the whole England thing, if they win then fair play - but all I've seen thus far is 3 very underwhelming performances, what is all this ridiculous hype based upon?

The most impressive feature of the forces assembled in Eastern Europe has been the esprit de corps of the massed ranks

As opposed to the esprit de corps of individuals?

A catastrophe of a sentence.

1-0 to England Welbeck to get the goal .

2-1 to England.
A couple of set piece goals...probably a Lionheart header.

i'll die of shock if there's 4 goals in this game tbh.

It's going to be one of those 'who scores first, wins' games i think.

So it isnt for the par league?

could be a great game, a veritable meeting of giants, styles will clash, grease vs good old fashioned hard work, pepperoni vs digestive biscuits, cardinals vs vicars, chianti vs wkd, michaelangelo's david vs tracy emin's bed. Boom, go-a back to your-a mammas cringe.

who'd win in a cheese-off though that's what I want to know?

mozzarella, parmesan, gorgonzola, dolcelatte, mascarpone, provolone, ricotta vs cheddar, stilton, lancashire, double gloucester, cheshire, red leicester, and wensleydale.

it's a close run thing.

There are some good Italians there but the cheddar and red leicester wins it for me. 2-1 England, Waynesleydale 1st goal

English cheese is actually one of the things we do well. Behind France but ahead of Italy, I would say
