Croatia 3-2 England

I love football. Sometimes, on days like today, fanatically.

When it comes up in conversation, people will invariably ask, which team do you support? As someone who moves town every 2 years or so, I've never felt comfortable having a "club". Consequently, despite having spent only 86% of my life in the country, I support England.

Now that England are out of Euro 2008, I have no team to support in a major tournament until (hopefully) the 2010 World Cup. This is made even more depressing by the fact that international matches are also supposed to be father-son bonding time.

I will need to be kept distracted next summer. Wimbledon had better be fucking exciting!

I'm sorry, I don't know why I made such a rude, pessimistic comment then. I think I was just in a really bad mood from work, although that's no excuse.

I can see you point about the tennis, I just find the whole thing a bit dry. Then again, I've never had much luck with tennis playing. Once my friend and I were playing around with my new rackets in the park, and a gang of kids (about 15 of them) pelted us with a a couple of dozen cartons of eggs after I refused to let them "play" (i.e. steal) with my rackets, not to mention a couple of black eyes from rogue tennis balls during P.E. I think it is much like my aversion to netball and hockey.

Disappointing about the football, even though I don't follow it anywhere near as much as I did as a child. Then again, all England-based sports always seem to be a bit on the disappointing side! I hope you find something else to bond over with your father, perhaps the Olympics?
