I know you Scots are so shy and retiring that you are too embarrassed to wish England well this evening, so repeat after me .... Good ..... Luck ....... England Did that make anyone spill their whisky?
Well! What can I say, already they are forcasting the demise of English football and analyzing why they failed to get through and who to sack and who to replace them with. And its only been twelve hours since the deed was done. I half expect to walk past the police station and see the Union Jack at half mast as orders have come from whitehall!
I am not surprised at the result at all. Why bring Beckham on. He is unfit and passed it. Why sack the manager, he can led the horse to water you can't make him drink. If England had won, they'd be giving him a HERO'S welcome.
So that's England and Scotland out. Err, should I ask about the current status of NI and Wales? The best thing about all this is that the pubs won't be so packed with game screenings next year.
As if the players probably didn't feel bad enough already BBC NEWS | Business | England failure 'may hit economy'
There is always the World Cup England can now join Scotland, Wales, N Ireland and have a stay-at-home holiday this summer. Cheers Hugh
But hold on! Scotland is the number eight seed at Elephant Polo! And world champions at rocket ball. So, we have something to look forward to!
Now that all of the the four home countries are out of Euro '08 there is talk of having a British Championship like in the old days. Nothing more exciting than an England v Scotland game.
