I thought that XMTS would be a soccer free zone but apparently not. I hope that the USA, Slovenia and the Algerians give the English a sound thrashing - not so much out of national schadenfreude but more because if they do maybe they will stop droning on and on and on about it.

Which is more boring the 90 minutes of 2 dozen nylon clad metrosexuals mincing about with a plastic bladder or the never ending discussions by pointless pub bore types on every available media outlet?
