It’s not you, Robert Green. It’s them.

Here at Fordiebianco HQ we have been enjoying some lovely footy. Well, mostly watching the German friendly training game against Australia, but we also dutifully watched our host nation’s attempt at glory. That wasn’t as lovely. But the relentless battering via the so called ‘popular press’ here in the UK is not only contra productive, but also completely misguided.

If a first class team like the English one is not able to put four goals past these minnows from across the pond, then it’s not Robert Green’s problem. It’s his team’s. This one goal should have just been a foot note in history.

So Robert, old chap: cheer up.

The Footy starts again

Every two years the same thing happens: the whole country gets into an almost intolerable tizzy, flags are being waved, barbecues are being held, bigger TVs are bought, Beer consumption goes through the roof, hopes are held high, and in the end everybody gets deflated when Germany loses the final  and England don’t make it past the group stage.

Here at Fordiebianco central we are prepared. It’s definetely the biggest TV we’ve ever had (21 inches), there is beer and Pimms, the sweepstake money has been paid but for obvious reasons we haven’t started to hang the Germany flag out the bedroom for fear of lynching by the natives.

The only problem I have is that I am likely not going to see a lot of return on my investment in the sweepstakes:

May I point out that the the Telegaph has made the biggest own goal ever by eliminating an excellent neoliberal treasury minister.

Idiots.

P.S. Nice one, Lena. But you wonder why the UK always comes last in the Eurovision Song Contest. To quote the best girlfriend ever: “it’s hard to make friends on the continent when your politicians keep pissing on it. “
