If it makes you feel any better, at least we didn't invent the sport, then lose badly at it.
Hah!! We are well used to that. Football, cricket, rugby golf and tennis were all invented by us and we get utterly slapped at all of them on a regular basis.
I think it is about time we invented a new world sport. At least we might be the best at it for a week or two
I was thinking along exactly the same lines. So we have a moral quarter final victory to console ourselves and with which to convince ourselves that we are once again a significant footballing nation.
