so sad that England did not make it past Portugal and into this final....France-England is the kind of rivalry that Yankees-Red Sox could potentially develop into (in a thousand years or so.......)
Very sad indeed but as England we must take out retribution on Portugal for the disgraceful conduct of Cristiano Ronaldo by any means how.
And that means (I can't believe I'm saying this) for the first time ever I'll be routing for France.
What have I done????
France and England would not have met in the final, they would have been semi-final adversaries..
France-England isn't that heated a rivalry in football terms, despite the hundreds of years of war. France play fairly clean and we have quite a lot of respect for their players. Germany and Argentina are the juicy rivals.
