Euro 2008, Really?
So Euro 2008 has finally started and as much as I’m excited by the tournament I am getting irritated that there is still only one word on every pundit’s lips - England! Should the English team be doing this? Should they avoid doing that!? Going by the viewing today it will be the most used word through the entire tournament, except for Ronaldo (Who looked slightly jaded tonight).
England should be copying teams that are playing - These teams managed to qualify whereas England did not! This is why I have decided to give everyone a tip for the tournament - Click the Red Button and choose Five Live Commentary to avoid the constant ramblings of Motson and Lawrenson on how this tournament begs for a Gerrard, a Rooney or a Terry! It bloody well does not beg for any of those classless unprofessionals.
Also, the constant need to associate foreign players to an England International player’s position is utterly pointless! “Playing in that Ashley Cole style” - Really? Is he? I thought that was called left back myself. As far as I know that term has been used since before moneybags was born!? Clearly not in Motson’s head. Why not the “Patrice Evra sort style”? Why not the “Garry Hay style”!?
The sooner England are knocked out the bett… oh wait!
OH SNAP!

As much as I agree with you on the whole Engerland issue, I must say that as soon as you left the flat, Ronaldo got into the game a little more. It was, afterall, his galloping run that led to Portugal’s second goal!
OH SNAP!
I’m really tempted to write the lyrics of the “Ashley Cole” song, but just in case you get some respectable readers, I won’t.
