“Tougher than the World Cup,” England Coach Fabio Capello told The Associated Press before the draw.
Well then England has no chance. After all, if they couldn’t win their group in the World Cup (we Americans won it), then they might as well save the money and not even show up at this tournament.
That’s not the spirit bobjam! It’s tradition. England always have ridiculously high expectations going into major tournaments, and either perform abysmally, or eventually go out in a heartbreaking agonising, futilely heroic, fashion.
It wouldn’t be a major tournament without that happening!
