It was a happy time, hell, by thursday I even considered placing a bet on #eng to win.
Now, after tonight's 0-0 bore-athon against my sweepstake team Algeria, the clouds are gathering and I feel my interest level slipping back towards circa 1.63.
0-0 draws make football unbearable for a soccer novice like me. In fact, when I was 15, a bloke with arsenal season tickets took a shine to me (he was 15 too, no grooming going on, honest) and invited me to all the games. After going to 3 matches I declined all his offers of tickets because there were so many damn 0-0 results which were dull on telly, let alone in the freezing cold on a november eve.
Srsly - footy fans, analyse your game... There must be something you can change to sex it up a bit?! We want goals, we want back of the net goodness, we want ACTION. Otherwise I'm back in the old gunners stadium (what was it called again?) in the cold watching bergkamp and adams and that fit danish guy get sod all. (Showing my age).
Moving on to my match commentary:
1. The algerian's green shirts were seductively clingy.
2. Someone called 'barry' was bought on who was meant to be the messiah or summin and did approx. nothin.
3. Ashley cole had nice shoes.
4. Wayne rooney looked beardy and didn't seem to do much AT ALL.
5. Steve gerrard looked really sad all the time - quite wanted to give him a bit of a hug.
[As an aside, look how many names I now know! I'm a regular pundit!]
6. Evidently the commentators said it was the 442 system that was flawed. I think they just weren't kicking the ball proper.
To sum up, my fav point of the night was made by a friend of @fletcheatsmovies:
"Can we please send the england team on some kind of team building day out. Build a raft or some shit. Anything to make them pass like they've fucking met each other before"*
*Curse words not mine, mum.
Ah well at least I saved myself a tenner at the bookies. I'd love to eat my words if we made it to the final. Sadly I believe I will be word-hungry for a while to come.

An incredibly accurate summary of the evening's piss poor events. I weep for your interest levels dipping back to 1.63 but mostly I weep for such a disappointing performance from my beloved team. And yes, those Algerian shirts were seductively clingy.
