He said they see us like the kid brother that keeps cocking up, so hence very keen for us to finish the job this time!
Football has just received its English passport, just waiting for a couple of visa checks to go through, but its flight to Gatwick has been booked for next Monday morning.
Oh right, thanks mate. So you could even say: It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming. Football's coming home!
To be fair I wanted them to win it last time and as far back as 2010 as I felt that team deserved to win something. Doesn't mean it wasn't hilarious this time round.
This joyous video clip is a good example of what this WC run by the England team is doing, it is uniting us all as never before. Indian people have been a great addition to our country over the years anyway but this is so symbolic of whats happening. In fact outside of England it is surprising the amount of other nationalities that are supporting England big time in this WC. When Germany were knocked out by South Korea the other day i was in a bar in Portugal with lots of Swedish and German supporters and i actually hugged some Germans and said ' tough guys, but now you know how we have felt so many times, usually at the hands of Germany ! ' and they all said that they now wanted England to go on and win it. What a summer - and its not over yet !
Just spent 60 quid on a bit of crappy polyester with 3 lions on it. A definite symptom of madness, but when I get home later I'll be googling Fan ID's. So 60 quid could be just the start...
Still undecided. Going to look into this Fan ID thing a bit more closely later today. Was having a look last week (before Sweden). The nightmare scenario is turning up in Moscow without a ticket for a game, and being sent home. My theory is I'd be able to buy a ticket out there for a lot less than buying one here, but it could still be a gamble rocking up in Moscow without one. Hotels in Moscow have been ramping up their prices-damn sure the airlines have too. Can I afford it? Only in the sense that I paid off my entire credit card balance last month. Also, I am off work til Tuesday, would need to book more days if staying out for the Fi...nah, not gonna say it. And I have loads of stuff on this week (nothing I can't put off, mind). If my mate whose arm I've been twisting decides he's going, that may swing it. I have made tentative arrangements to watch the semi at the local Cricket Club, with him and his kids. So might make a call Wednesday night. Watch this space
I'd certainly be out there if I had the means, ticket or not though I'm sure you'd pick one up out there depending on your limit... Let's just beat Croatia.
