England is hanging on in quiet desperation.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way...
I follow a blog that discusses the World Cup refs. This ref is considered by all to be one of the top 3-4 in the world. His performance in this match is horrible, yet his syncophants are trying to he’s doing a very good job.
If American Mark Geiger had performed like this, they’d be ripping him a new one.
Sadly, the 4th Referee in this match is actually the best in the world, he is on the sideline and probably won’t be assigned the Final.
