Surely you're joking?

I mean, I'd love England to win. But while they look pretty good on paper, we haven't seem them perform convincingly as a team in the Last two years.

ATM, tennis with Rolland Garros.
Then it will be Euro - soccer.
After that tour de france.
Then there must be something with Olympic games.

I hate sports on TV.
I Must be in hell.

Why, England obviously. I mean, they won the Last World Cup and they have Wilkinson among other talented players, and... Oh, is that the wrong sport?

Nonetheless, I will put my marbles on England as usual, especially as their first game will be against France. If my innate ability of bringing bad luck to France still works, England will won the day , as there is nothing half as fun as such an outcome. there is actually something that would be better though ; what if England defeated France now, and then later on in the competition? That would imply a somewhat successful France, but the very thought of losing twice to England is very appealing to my wicked mind.

wow, what a highly dramatic game: France beats England 2-1. sorry England.

I'd like to see some headlines tomorrow from the English press concerning the goalie.

That was a painful experience. 89 minutes slowly becoming convinced that we would win, suddenly followed by catastrophe and stupidity.

I'm changing my favourite sport to cricket. It's a lot less stressful, and we actually win a few matches these days...
