So, the pointless optimism has finally ended, and the Engerlund faithful are taking down their flags to be placed in loving storage for Euro 2008.
2 years of hopes and dreams come crashing down. Now, in work, listening to the dissection of the world cup. No longer the optimism, the 'we will have at least one good game' the 'we are due a semi final'
People are actually saying 'we weren't good enough, but the hunt is on for a scapegoat. Some are venting ire over Rooney, C Ronaldo, the ref, Beckham, but most of it is landing on Sven. Easy target I suppose, he's already gone, so he can be blamed.
Am in a sticky position, I've been holding a flame for Brazil this World Cup and they've gone out, an all euro semi-finals phase, and 4 teams who I have no particular fondness for.
I guess I'll carry the torch for good football and 4 good games of football to tie it up
