So long as Maradooooooooo is in charge, they haven't a hope in hell. Much as he was my favourite player, it was clear he was never going to succeed as manager. To hear him crowing about how he'd confounded his doubters after scraping in at the last minute...shows he's still as nuts as ever.

Regarding England, I just can't shake that feeling that we're not as good as we think we are. We seem to be great when we're up for it, but I worry we still seem to crumble at the first sign of something not going well...the perennial overexcited toddler!
