Its gonna be a long boring summer...!

T'is a dark day in prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /England today, despite being given a lifeline on Saturday, England decided to balls it up completely.

For those not in the know, I’m talking football and England’s biggest failure in 13 years.

We needed 1 point to qualify for the European Championships held next year, however instead of playing for the win and getting three points, we did the stupidest thing any team could do, we sat back with only one striker upfront, and played for the draw, tactical suicide!!!

So next summer, instead of unity in the country, St George flags flapping from every house window, kids and there fathers going for a quick kick about at half-time across the local park, Uri Gellar asking us all to focus on a picture of a football telling us to believe! prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /

We'll be faced with empty pubs, high priced holidays, but worse of all, for 4 weeks the country will be uninterested in the beautiful game.

But then again, at least were not going to go out on penalties.
