I am not going to shoot myself because England are not going to win the World Cup. We Brits have got used to that! It is a disappointment though. England are now rank outsiders and that is a shame, because had their best players been fit, I would have said this was the most talented squad of players we have had in my lifetime.
Let's just hope there is some good football played in a good spirit to enjoy. Maybe a side of the quality of the brilliant French team of 1998 will emerge. I can enjoy quality football whether we are in with a chance or not.
