COME ON YOU ENGLAND!!!

We still believe.*





*even if we don't.

Even though we said no pressure on the team I think the press has started to up the pressure good luck England as long as they play well I'll be happy.
If we win the first game then even more pressure will be put on the team.
However I am looking forward tonight's game.

Can't stay up that late, kicks of at 2 am here and I got to be up at 5.45 am for work.

Nice sentiments, but unfortunately your last sentence probably sums it up. I have never known a more muted World Cup with England participating. Having said that, and with expectations so low, perhaps our boys could surprise everyone and have a good tournament.

A pointer from the past - the last time England started a World Cup campaign on a Monday (I may be wrong on that!) was when we drew 1-1 with the Republic of Ireland in 1990. We did quite well after that!

Come on England indeed, haven't been watching much international football for quite some time now so don't have a clue what the team's like.
Hoping they can play without THE fear.

Here we go!

I think this was France?

Most normal football fans like us have been craving an England world cup based on reality for years.....ie stop the hype and enormous expectations.
Fingers crossed under the radar no expectations will see something special happen..........everyone be quiet..............sssshhhh

I don't think the Russians would mind the song about the RAF but you could change the words ito the Ruskis shot down a German bomber that might go down well.

Perhaps Mig Ure could write the lyrics?

Disappointing lack of chair luzzing so far

Come on England, going by the results so far, the Cup is there for the taking.

BBC breakfast did a little piece on England fans arriving, and it was very noticeable how few were wearing England shirts.

We started France 98 against Tunisia on a Monday. This was the last time we won an opening game of a world cup.

What was stupid in the past was the "we'll win it" nonsense created by the media, HOWEVER there bloody well SHOULD be some expectation on the team. It is our national sport for christs sake and no other country on the planet spends as much money on the game than this one!!!
So the 22 multi-millionaires should feel a little bit of pressure IMO, as it IS important.

The expectation dumb down exercise started by that fraud Hodgson is complete it seems.
