THREE LIONS ON A SHIRT, etc. etc.

\o/ We beat Slovenia! And generally played in a way that didn't shame the nation! So glad I took the afternoon off work to watch!

ALTHOUGH, now we might be facing Germany in the next round and Argentina in the quarters? GAH.

I can't believe the US is still alive. OMG LAST MINUTE FLAILING!

Not only that, you topped the group! Which is annoying from an England perspective, but seeing as you should've beaten Slovenia you guys deserve it.

LOLL I'm sort of proud of our rag-tag group of ~football misfits. ;)

*spins and twirls* England looked much better. Altho as soon as Joe Cole came on England's attacking impetus just died. I guess Mr Potato head is important even when he misses sitters in front of goal.

Australia in a couple of hours *nervous sigh*

IDK, I think Rooney has been pretty much useless throughout. I think towards the end they were just being careful and trying to protect the existing scoreline.

Good luck against Serbia! You could actually still qualify!

I can't see us getting through, but I hope we win so we finish on a good note. Also, I just want all 11 players to STAY ON THE GODDAMN PICTH.

\o/ I only caught the last bit because I was travelling - but hey! A British team through! Good times!
