I'm as patriotic as most, and proud to be English.........however, I was surprised to find myself much more excited when Ireland qualified by beating Italy than I was when WE went through.
Add to this the fact that today I haven't been sulking, and kicking the cat - I've actually found us losing to ICELAND (FFS!) quite funny.
That's how thrilling I find the England team.
How sad is that?
