Hi, OK... now we are getting closer to the truth because , have you ever heard of a game where you play for FIVE days and at the end of it all you call it a DRAW and you have a "Cup'o tea" together ?
Seriously, England can win a game of Rugby/Cricket now and then but there should be no excuses for their Soccer side. The quality of soccer that their National side produces , should always be "Up there" and don't send the "Has been's" to the USA. Rather send the Beatles again but send Beckham and his "show boat" partner with Blair to the Middle East. Anton Britz note: This is Friday whoffle.... nothing to do with food from Belgium.
