[Paul James]

Have to confess that my reply isn't from a football fanatic, far from it as I think it is a boring game by and large. The players set a bad example to youngsters with their unsportsmanlike behaviour, they are a bunch of prima donna's, look at the wonder boy Beckhams attempt at scoring a penalty, pathetic isn't in it.

However much patriotism you care to show you can't help but admit that the England team, apart from a few exceptions, played really badly last night. If one of my employees made such a lacklustre attempt at doing a job he was being payed for I think I'd have to put him on notice. These people are given a small (sorry make that obscenely LARGE !!) fortune to play the so called "beautiful" game. They should all be made to pay back any money they've received from attending this championship and go and compete in the world pocket billiards competition.

How is it that we hear of so much trouble at football matches when massive crowds at rugby matches and motor sport events are able to control themselves ??.
