With only 6 days till one of the biggest events in the sporting calendar kicks off, like usual us England fans start to build that optimism. You know, that hope that this will be our year. How many times have we heard that? The media always over-hype the players and put so much pressure on them. It is quite frightening. But could this actually be our year?
The bookies have placed us as the third favourite behind current European Champions Spain and the illustrious five times winners Brazil. The man who is under the scrutiny of a nation is Italian Fabio Capello, a manager who has won trophies everywhere he has gone, who was even ridiculously sacked by Real Madrid for not winning the league in enough ‘style’. I’m sure we won’t be complaining if we pinch 1-0 victories if it leads us to a trophy we haven’t won since the one and only time 1966, and bar 1990, haven’t really looked as if we could.
