We are moored just above Star lock, Stone. Lots of hysterics coming from the pub so I guess the game is in progress. How exciting..... not.

But dont you even have a small scrape of patriotism to admit is pretty important even if you dont find it exciting? Yes its overpaid teams but there is no denying that they do work hard for the success, and judging by all accounts they are the best team for a very long time. I dont understand or like football but even I can see where its skilful playing, I want them to win for the sake of this country, to unite many in pride and will watch for that reason alone. Patriotism..l sake of this country... hmmm which country would that be? Actually, in all seriousness even though I have lived in another country (Scotland) for nearly 40 years, I am not like the English-hating SNP who would like anyone but England to win, it’s just that I really don’t give a shit about a silly game of pushing a ball from one end of a field to the other, and I find the money involved in football obscene.

They have to pay the footballers silly money for the hype. If they paid them a normal working man's wage it would be too boring and nobody would be interested. Its a money making scam.

Great Britain. But Great Britain are not playing in the World Cup. Or are you so English-centric that you don’t realise England and Great Britain are not the same thing? Like some Americans!

Yes England is part of Great Britain One part. There are other parts that are not competing in the World Cup. So you think I should be “patriotic” to a country I don’t live in and don’t particularly identify with? Why is that?

Yes England is part of Great Britain However, in a poll conducted by the BBC (or at least reported by the BBC) 18% of Welsh peeps admitted to supporting England tonight and 7% of Scotitsh peeps.

Engerland never looked like scoring in the 50 odd minutes I caught - luckily it was the last 50 odd minutes!

Losing semi finalist is no disgrace.
Pity they couldn't make their first half superiority tell, as they were certainly second best for the rest of the game.
True of sport in general, you have to take advantage on the scoreboard as you get nothing for 'being on top'.
Croatia's first final and I wish them well.
