Come And Get It Slovenia

Apologies for the lack of posts recently but there has been very little in the way of news on the Manchester United front and the World Cup hasn’t exactly been something to get excited about so far – especially for an Englishman.

We English are used to seeing our boys hyped up before these tournaments to the point that anything less than winning the thing would be seen as abject failure. The fans themselves are a bit more realistic. We know that we have a very good bunch of players but “forty years of hurt” has tempered our willingness to get swallowed up by the hype to such a degree.

What we want to see is our boys playing with pride and passion and for every player to give it everything. If we get that then it is usually more than enough to take care of most teams out there.

What we have seen so far as been nothing short of embarrassing. The draw with Algeria last week was probably one of the lowest moments in England’s World Cup history. Take nothing away from Algeria, they played well, they were organised and deserved their point.

England just looked devoid of passion, to a man they underperformed and those Three Lions on the shirt seemed to mean nothing to them.

However, I expect different today. The lions have been sleeping so far but they are going to come out of their slumber today. Hungry and angry, they will tear Slovenia to pieces.

Wear your England shirts with pride today because the boys are going to do us justice.

Mark my words.

Come on England!
