The latest comment from Mogwai re: the World Cup
"No Chance England It's happened for 40 years and has no sign of fading. I'm talking about the foolish English optimism/arrogance that attends every World Cup and after watching the first half between Trinidad and Tobago and England, they have a Kit Kat's chance in Hell of winning the tournament. You'd think they deserved to win the cup the way the English media blabbers on and it's plain embarrasing to watch, and not a little infuriating. Jingoism is nothing to be proud of (ironically) but it rears its ugly head every 4 years. England: are shite. Get over yourselves and start supporting Brazil or Argentina. That way you wont be disappointed at the final."
two things to discuss: 1. Pretty much every realistic England fan will agree with everything here. We know we're rubbish. 2. You've got to be in it to win it!!!

Aren't the Scottish media always hopelessly over-optimistic every time there's a new Scotland manager?
The sooner 'Three Lions' disappears the better.

Even when we went 2-1 up with 5 minutes to go, I just knew we weren't going to win.
England have been the comedy team of the tournament so far - some good goals, but some very bad mangerial decisions, wretched defending, and hilarious goals conceded. What's not to love about England!? Warm congrats also to Radio 5's Alan Green for the spectacular example of Commentator's Kiss Of Death: "...and Gerrard has won the game for England."

Officials in any sport are pompous, puffed-up, too full of their own importance, one-step-away-from-world-domination ego-maniacs, who systematically ruin the weekends of millions of god-fearing, law-abiding folk like you and me. Scorn and contempt is rightfully thrust in their direction.
