All I'm hoping for today is a bloody good game. I'm afraid that some of the matches this World Cup have been rather..(dare I say?)..dull.

Why would you open this blog? Why on Earth would it matter to anyone if an internet stranger is supporting one team or another in a football match? Why would I think who I'm supporting or not supporting is so portentous that anyone would give a flying fuck? Why have all my friends, who don't follow football, have not watched any qualifying matches and probably couldn't name 3 of the England squad suddenly started talking about how 'we' will do? Why are taxi drivers and shop assistants asking me if I think 'We' will bring 'it' home?

I've considered telling them that I was unfortunately not selected.

I totally agree. I only hope that England will go out so that it will be all over. No other interest i the score what soever.

See, I don't mind people being really into it and all the flags and stuff, I like geekiness and enthusiasm as human traits. It's not the actual football fans that annoy me, the game really is that important to them. They don't need to tie this afternoon's match to the fight against fascism or think it's life or death for England's cultural identity. It's the people who don't know one end of a pitch to another who are suddenly imbuing a football competition with such significance who are grating.

For those who never usually bat an eyelid in the direction of football it seems to be NOT about "the game" so much as the perceived patriotism.

Yes, in a nutshell, that's the problem I have with it.

To see if your reasons are the same as mine. Mine are mainly that I want England to lose to annoy all those over opinionated fans who drive you mad with their pointless opinions. However if England lose then they will come out with a whole other bunch of opinions generally based around how they would have done it if they were in their place. So ultimately I just don't give a crap who wins, I just want it over with so they will shut up sooner.
