England got knocked out of the kick-a-ball trophy this week. I wasn’t really bothered to be honest. A few days earlier a tv reporter interviewed an 11 year old girl. It was quite funny because she didnt seem to know or care what football is and he looked as though he didn’t either. You just couldn’t make it up. But England always fail at winning the tournament they are in because they don’t know who the opposition are most of the time. They say they do, but they don’t really.
They’re too bothered about the next game. They don’t concentrate on who they’re playing now. There’s a big circus of triviality that springs up whenever England could win something big. And we all want to be a part of it. And then we lose. It’s sad, really. I can’t see a change ever happening. Kick-a-ball will still be the same now as it is when i’m long gone. The girl of 11 is now a grandmother of 3. They are all given England flags and told to smile at the camera.
Everyone knows that England are going to lose but, hope they’ll win. They couldn’t have an easier draw than they’ve got - Italy and Holland didn’t even qualify.

ReplyDeleteI'm not a soccer/football fan. And, I'm definitely not a fan of the fans who go crazy during and after the games. Their behaviour is ridiculous.
