Another footy one ..

You might think I'm crazy, but I don't even care,
Because I can tell what's going on ..
It's hip to be square ..

It's wednesday today, which means that at 3pm, England will kick off against Slovenia in the morose, lip-bitingly tense party that is World Cup 2010. This entry has been brought on partially by a growing number of facebook status updates in support of England, and partly because I fear that today will be another all-too-familiar replay of bygone matches. Grim, grim.

If this is the case, then the inevitable pre-match build-up will be all but destroyed long before half time.

We can hope however, that England fare better against Slovenia than they did Algeria; the latter country is just a desert for Christ's sake. Improvements for our team would include, but are not limited to:
  • No more Hair-raising 'passes' back to the goalie
  • Fewer crap punches from said goalie.
  • Less dismal, aimless long balls to the opposing defenders/midfielders
  • Heskey not falling over
  • Rooney getting more than 2 touches of the ball per match
  • Lampard aiming for the goal and/or not fumbling the ball at every opportunity
  • Capello not hopping round on the sidelines like an angry granny at bingo
  • Gerrard shooting for the goal when he's open and clear instead of misguidedly passing it back

But - we shall see.
