En-ger-land, En-ger-land, En-ger-land
After Sunday’s heart breaking defeat to the French I was left feeling speechless and empty for a good few hours.
I found myself thinking what England fans have thought many, many times before… Why us?
40 minutes into the game, and whole country was ecstatic thanks to Frank Lampard’s brilliant header from a David Beckham cross. 50 minutes later and no-one spoke a word… everyone sat there in a complete shocked silence.
If the game had ended having played 90 minutes, England would have been victorious and all the negative journalism would have been directed at the French team. As it happens, we couldn’t hold on for the final 3 minutes and flicked the self-destruct button yet again to let France score 2 goals and finish the game 2-1 winners. A 1-1 scoreline would have been fair, but to lose the game and come away with nothing was crushing.
Anyway, Sundays game is out of the way and we can be pleased that we managed to hold the supposed European Champions and many of the supposed worlds great players till the final 3 minutes.
Now we face a must win game against Switzerland on Thursday evening and the England fans must once again bite their fingers and hope that our team does us proud.
Come on England!
