I see Umbro have finally moved with the times. Over here in Canada we have been subjected to their BRING IT ON campaign with film of England goals but since Croatia scored more goals then they actually show they have now replaced it with a BRING IT ON ad which features street players. I mean they couldn't actually run a BRING IT ON campaign with the English team sitting at home watching the best of europe slogging it out in Euro 2008, could they? And on top of that it has now been confirmed that if Spain are banned they still won't get in as Norn Iron will.
ENGLAND DROPPED LIKE A HOT SNOT!  BRING IT ON! |

i cannot agree bunter , the best part of any tournament is seeing them knocked out !! England for all tournaments ! ( unless in the group with us )
its not like they are ever going to win one , no chance!!

Don't know about you lads but I am quite looking forward to an England-free Euro 2008. The fact is that they came might close to really upsetting me, especially, in the last few finals. Had they not been knocked out when they were there was nobody really to stop them. I remember once seeing an interview with Billy Bremner who still looked back at England winning the World Cup as his worst time in futba. He even remarked that when the German's scored a late equaliser in the 1966 final, that German player was named Scottish player of the year!
No, I'm in the "don't qualify for anything" camp as regards England. When you have to put up with the s**t involved with all that (especially over here), its best if they are staying at home, with their slippers and a cup of tea, enjoying a tournament instead of complaining about everyone else.
Enjoy the finals |

Peno's or the Hand of God. Jaysus, all we hear about is cheeting Ronaldo and especially Maradona. As my friend said he'd kiss Ian Paisley if the DUP kingpin scored against them. Nothing about Peter Robinson but give it time.

While it's great to see them losing on penos in finals, USA 94 was all the better for their absence cos we weren't worried about their hooligan mob wrecking bars and starting riots, unlike Euro 88and Italia 90 where we were always on alert and in some cases had to run away for our own safety.
