    Odd. I thought the tournament had been cancelled and they were just going to give your lot the trophy.

    Even I get the joke here, our celtic cousins seem to have missed it completely.

    Aggieboy is fibbing, although I would have watched :lol: . It has made me think, what will they do if we do win? I have Sky and like Cricket but even I got quite embarrassed at the endless repeats of their Ashes Special after 2005. Open top Bus parades and MBEs all round again :roll: .

    I'm English but I found the Euros last year so much more enjoyable because we hadn't qualified.No unrealistic expectations built up by the crazy media ,no so called fans driving round with flags on their cars and ultimately no disappointment when we underperformed.

    but I'm looking forward to stumbling through the group stage and then playing well but getting beat in the 1/4s or semi.

    It's the law of England footy.

    Pip pip.

    And no xenophobic Sun headlines either. Though it did mean a lack of footy-themed ales from independent brewers (some usually crop up in time for the Euros or a World Cup) on the guest beer/supermarket bottles circuit. :(

    As sad as it sounds, even though I would shout myself hoarse if Wales were playing tiddlywinks, and consider myself a patriotic Welshman, I really can't get excited about the Wales football team. They're mostly distant relations with no real link to Wales. They don't seem Welsh, mumbling and miming the anthem. It shows when they play their qualifiers, no real support. Even when the Welsh rugby team were really crap they would easily sell out the ground for internationals. Maybe it's something to do with picking Vinnie Jones and Robbie Savage.

    Oh I'm sure you're right but I so hope we can at least make the final this time.

    Either way I'll be in my local complete with 20" diameter drum belting out a rythmn with the whole pub chanting. Top stuff. :D

    There is a bit of an argument for Scotland having a football team... but lets be honest, Wales is not even a proper country.... its a principality... and just think all through the 90's we could have had Giggs playing on the left !!!!! :wink:

    Don't give up the day job for a career in comedy. :wink:

    You could have had Giggs anyway, he's not Welsh.

    And you can have Prince Charles as well! (No wink for that one)

    +1. Apart from the 1980s, when we had Mark Hughes, Ian Rush, Radcliffe, Southall et al.
