What is it with every one having a go at England?
We are STILL, after 180+ minutes, unbeaten in the tournament. We kept a clean sheet yesterday and at no point did we look out of our depth against the undisputed kings of the Gobi desert, far from it; we looked almost comfortable at times. The whole of the England team carried the national beacon of expectation with a courage and tenacity unseen since the Battle of Britain - and everybody wants to slate them for it. Shame on you!
Before the tournament I questioned Fab's selection, wondering why he left Johnno and Walcott at home but now I see why. I'm ashamed to confess that I also had doubts about Emile Heskey but he's more than proven me wrong; showing an elegance and majesty on the ball that I haven't seen since the days of Steve Kinsey. The only slight hiccup thus far is the (omni)presence of our lucky talisman and England's greatest ever player by a long shot, David Beckham, which has obviously not had the desired effect as our young lions are (understandably) dazzled and overawed by his greatness. But never let it be said that (soon to be Sir) Becksy Wecksy is a one trick pony. From his role as 12th man, he will soothe the team, helping England emulate his achievements by winning gloriously. Hysteria beckons, it's a good time to be English and people should be proud of "our boys" instead of questioning things they obviously have no understanding of.
