as much as any other major international tournament. Friendlies usually are a waste of 45mins of my life but owing to the last minute change of manager even the game this weekend will be watched with interest.
interesting to see that most of the posters above who are displaying apathy put that down to the apathy shown by the players – chicken/egg situation that.
To say that Hodson (sp?) came in and built anything shows a little lack of understanding of the situation. The team was built/formed over the last two years, what he can do in the final two weeks is pretty minimal. If he can stamp some sort of mark on the team he will do well. I know the chelsea players were absent last week, but some of his influence is already quite clear
if you are into it, support it, if not, **** off – why is it the only national team which it is ok to deride? Dont see that against the rugby/cricket/hockey/judo even cycling, people are either supporters or just non-plussed, they dont drive into us because they hate B.Wiggins
(i am however prepared to see Terry, Lamps/Gerrard, Rooney all make the starting line-up for the final group match, then we deserve what we get)
