This afternoon it is the second round of the World Cup and England take on ‘Ye Olde Enemy ‘ – the Germans.
As we all know, the rivalry between England and Germany dates back many years. In 2001, we beat them 5-1. In 1990 and 1996, they knocked us out of two separate competitions on penalties. In 1966, we beat them in the World Cup Final.
Perhaps England’s most famous victory and memorable triumph over Germany happened over 65 years ago, when we twice destroyed their nation. It was a very proud occasion for England and one we will never forget. It is just a shame The International Tiddlywinks Tournament was abolished soon after, so we have never had chance to beat them at it again.
Oh… I almost forgot the most important bit… COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!

Women's football has come a long way in recent years. I think it is now fair to say that the International England Women's Team is now an equal to the International England Men's Team.
Both reaching the semi final of their respective World Cups.
Both getting beaten in aforementioned semi finals, after playing uncharacteristically badly.

A lot is being made of today's match between England and Cameroon in the Womens World Cup. I watched the game. Cameroon were a disgusting team and displayed such extreme misbehaviour. I have never seen all these examples from one team in a single match... Spitting Serious foul play Shoving the referee over Refusing to restart...

It is nice to see the England Women football team doing well this year, just like their male counterparts 12 months ago.
To be fair to the Lionesses, they've been getting better and better over the last decade. Until last summer, England men had been pretty rubbish since 1996.

England fell at the first hurdle in the Nations League tonight, losing 3-1 to Holland.
Roman was delighted. After all, he's a Netherland Dwarf rabbit.
How he mocked us...
Well, I know a certain little bunny who's sleeping in the garden tonight...
What do you think to that, Roman?
Who's laughing now?
Of course Roman wasn't put outside. Do you not...
