Why do Englishmen always mess up in the sports they invented??

*Sigh*. England's out of Euro 2004 before I even had a chance to sit down and watch a match. Will have to wait till World Cup 2006 to watch Rooney in action.

For disgruntled footie fans, FlipFlopFlyin's Euro Mini Pops might cheer you up a bit and help recap some national pride....
last but not least - why football frenzy is good for the economy, bad for national psyche.
