<p>Gentle ribbing then nothing but admiration for the English rugby team when they deliver.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But when you're constantly bombarded with 'England football are awesome' by the media and England football fans, when they fail spectacularly it's hilarious.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>24 hrs and then it stops :)</p> -
<p>To those comparing this loss to SA v Japan etc, it was in no way much worse betting wise, Iceland were 10/1 so a 10% chance of winning, so this "upset" was more likely to happen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Japan I think were 30/1, so more of a surprise.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Reputation-wise, it may have been much worse, as the population comparisons etc are embarrassing, and England football fans have a deluded sense of their team's ability and are shocked when the perform poorly, tournament after tournament. <br>
</p> -
Do shit in tournament. National uproar, manager sacked. We realise we're shit.<br>
New manager and young team assembled. Optimism.<br>
We do well in the qualifiers. New hope. Media lauds new look England<br>
Next tournament arrives, this time we're gonna win it! it's a golden generation of new players <br>
Do shit in tournament. National uproar, rinse and repeat. -

<p>Mate I get sick of the media beat up on the England football team too. They've played like shit for years. Staid, defeatist footy, followed by managers and officials that aren't even one-eyed, just Nelsonian blind that spout meaningless drivel. I haven't been able to stomach watching footy for Gond knows how long. The last two World Cups I didn't bother with, let alone the Euros or friendlies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bloody sad really. :mad1:</p> -
