And so, out of all the home nations, Britain's expectations weigh upon the shoulders of the English players. A Squad good enough to at least make it to the last 16, they have so far triumphan...lost their first two games, and are out of the cup. Despite the 'ABE' brigade (Anyone But England) it's nice to see at least one of our crappy countries do well, and since Norn Iron, Scotland and Wales are kind of crap at football, England are all that's left. Help us Roy Hodgson, you're our only hope.
Sadly, England had the 'Group Of Death' in World Cup Group D with giants Italy, um..Uruguay and, er, Costa Rica. Italy and the mighty Costa Rica* have progressed through to the next round leaving the English players to fly home and face the inevitable butchering in the press.
Of course, the mighty France have breezed through their group and will inevitably be lifting the cup come July.
