National Disinterest

While the topic of the pubs and offices of the day has been of England and Walcott from last night, I have to confess to being entirely underwhelmed. I didn't watch the game, nor was interested in it. For me, football has become less and less interesting and this is the proof, where I now would probably prefer a defeat for the national team just to stop the ridiculous media hype surrounding it.

However, all credit to the players who went out and produced a superb 4-1 victory away to Croatia. But for me, that wasn't the story of last night. The big story was tiny Luxembourg, perennial underdogs, winning 2-1 in Switzerland.

Not that it was really noted among the Walcott delirium.
