The secret of happiness? Wipe Sunday 27th June from English history. Obliterate the day from your diary, deface your calendar, deny all knowledge of that shameful day. Oh woe is England.
We went out only a game earlier than I expected, but it was a dire performance. Who's to blame? Everyone. The media builds them up to knock them down, revelling in every failure and scandal after making them gods a few weeks before. We get the media we deserve, so it's hard to blame them when we buy the product.
The players didn't perform. Those who weren't good enough failed to show the spirit that may have carried them through. Those who are good enough showed neither guts nor ability. Capello is the coach so he shares the blame.
The referees and his assistants? At least they just made a split-second mistake. Yes it may have turned the match but I doubt it, we deserved our beating. Sep Blatter? Oh yes. A thousand times yes. Fifa's equivalent of King Canut, trying to hold back the waves of technology while the rest of the sporting world is surfing.
Oh well, only four more years of hurt.
