Which is worse? Watching England play or having your tooth pulled out? A rhetorical question really. You get some relief at least after your tooth came out!
By the time you read this blog, England would surely have dropped out of the World Cup. Knocked out at the first stage of the competition at that. Might as well. It puts an end to all the hype that had built up around the England team even before they landed in South Africa in their smart specially tailored suits.
England have the best chance of winning the World Cup in years. 44 to be exact.
England coach Capello publicly declared: "Anything less than a place in the final is a failure."
England have one of the easiest groups in the tournament. Only US is likely to cause England 'some' problems.
England is already talking about topping the group and thereby avoiding Germany in the next round.
What happened? England drew with US and failed to beat bottom-of-the-group Algeria. And they will be facing Slovenia (current Group C leader) next!
What went wrong? Plenty. And it doesn't matter. England are just not good enough and deserve it.
If the England's jerseys were red instead of white, I would have thought that it was Liverpool playing Algeria that night!
