another european championships and another opportunity for england to be punished by uefa for the uk having the sense to vote for brexit.
everything has been against us the entire tournament. starting with having to play loads of teams beginning with ‘s’ that all sound the same. that meant our scouts and data analysts had all their reports on our opponents mixed together, resulting in southgate having to play trent in midfield and harry kane performing badly as his confidence took a massive hit, having to pronounce so many ‘s’ teams in interviews.
the tournament has been played in germany. a country famous for having no good beers, and one that doesn’t like the “10 german bombers” chant. both of which are a staple requirement of the travelling england fan.
in the knockout games, we’re made to go to extra-time twice, and scrape through on penalties once. we still have the netherlands to beat, yet spain are already in the final. they even get more rest before the final. and they’ve won the tournament before. yes, it’s a foregone conclusion that we’ll beat holland on a level playing field. but holland is flat. they have the advantage on any level surface.
explain how any of this is fair? with the odds so firmly stacked against us, come what may, it’s another moral victory for the mighty england, but will we finally be allowed to go one step further? or will we be held back once more by overt cheating from uefa? if you’re not supporting england in this tournament, you’re not supporting football. we are the last bastion of hope for the beautiful game. pray for us.
