Hear Hear!
I wasn't watching, but could guess the way the team was playing by the lack of cheering and car horns drifting in through my open window...

There was thundering silence here... I'm surrounded by football fans and not a peep out of any of them

"I think they will beat Slovenia easily enough."

Never underestimate the ability of the English football team to cock it up

Mr. Rooney has apologised ... he was upset at the end of a poor game (and I'm sure he knew he'd not played particularly well) and regretted what he'd said, and basically begged fans to cheer them on in the next game.

He knows that the team need the supporters behind them, because they certainly haven't played well so far.

Speaking as a Scot of Welsh/English descent who subscribes to the 'Anyone But England' camp of football supporters (I'm sick & tired of having football this and football that rammed down my throat - if they won, God forbid, we'd never hear the end of it!!)...

Thank you for that post. it made me laugh!!!
