Anyone care?
I'm not sure why (actually, I guess the Olympics) but it's pretty much passed me by that we're only a couple of months away from a pretty huge football tournament.
I like to pretend I'm all cynical and 'over' England, but come summer in an even-numbered year, I'll be filling in my wallcharts with the best of them.
I wonder if (as well as the Olympics) the press has basically decided we aren't going to win it this year because we haven't got a manager, and Rooney's missing for the first two games, instead of blindly backing 'our brave boys' and whipping mugs like me up into a state of permanent excitement.
I'm sure the mood will take me once the season proper is over and they play a couple of friendlies. I fookin hope whoever is the manager does the right thing and ditches the old guard of no-hopers and picks some promising youngsters FFS.

Nice use of ‘the season proper’ there.
I’m the same but come the morning of the11th of June I’ll be legging it to the nearest Sports Direct to buy all the latest in England Nob Head wear and Car Crap. I’ll probably have something ‘hilarious’ on the back of my new shirt, like ‘Governor’ ‘Geezer’ or ‘Crouch’. You’re not a real fan unless you dress like a right-lad for these occasions.

I'm fairly unconcerned about it... I'm sure I'll watch parts of it, but it'll probably be fairly lamoid.
What is unfortunate is that last night's Chelski performance will probably cement Twatty and Coont's places in the team for the tournament.

I am indifferent to the point that I had completely forgotten about it until I saw this thread. This is largely because I am so caught up in the throes of our battle for promotion, and I'm sure I'll watch pretty much all of it, if only because I am a football obsessive and my entire life revolves around it.
