The French manager sounds right up BR's street: he used to style himself on Charles Bronson (right down to the tache) when he was a player, he's a keen amateur astrologer who snubs players if their star sign is Scorpio and expresses extreme mistrust of those who are Leo ("When I have got a Leo in defence, I've always got my gun ready, as I know he's going to want to show off at one moment or another and cost us"), he's an enthusiastic member of an amateur dramatics society who took his squad to unwind by watching a production of "Endgame" at a local theatre, and after France had bombed out of Euro 2008 he told the press he thought it would "cheer the nation up" if he proposed on live TV to his girlfriend instead of apologising for the abject failure. Oh yes, and an ex-porn star recorded a song in his honour:

So you think England won't even come in the top 2 out of England, USA, Slovenia, and Algeria. It is the easiest group of the lot and England should easily qualify. They only lost once in Qualifying in another easy group so I don't know what logic you are using to assume that they will finish third this time. Sure they have only a slim chance of winning it and I don't think that they should be seeded ahead of France, who were the finalists last time around and have won it in the last 20 years, whereas England have only got to 1 semi-final in the past 40 years.

I shudder at the thought of anyone associating me with that lot.

I am getting out the flag I purchased many years ago in a WOOLIES sale to fly from my tent at some festivals I am attending during the WC.

No split loyalties when England play the USA, JK? Actually, the Americans are super fit, very disciplined and several key players have now gained invaluable experience in the big European leagues, so I think they'll prove far tougher to beat than some hacks seem to be expecting.
