England Vs Australia.

[Togo]

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;

Not long now. Are we ready?

[tonyav]

Does this mean were ooot, minty.

[murraymints]

bye bye Engerland

[Togo]

Ah well said the soul. Ah sole said the well. Time to get an Australian manager.

[toalisi]

What a shambolic display.

The humiliation is now complete - the hosts eliminated from their
own World Cup

[THECORBYLOON]

To continue with Shakespeare, "Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown”.

[chrissa1]

Bummer!!! :(

[tonyav]

I think it is the first time an host nation has been knocked out in the group stages :-(

[DTCwordfan]

How about an Australian-Japanese manager.......?? He's available apparently.

[THECORBYLOON]

Yup!

[jno]

I think it is the first time an host nation has been knocked out in the group stages

Only in rugby. I think England achieved it in cricket some years ago.

Does this mean that the A316 will be open again at weekends and I can once again go shopping at Homebase?

[Togo]

Just as long as the frogs don't win it. At least England will still be the only Nation to have won the football and rugby World Cups.

[tonyav]

jno

Yep, thats what I mean't ( Rugby ).

[Milvus]

Well done Aus. Beat us in every department, sadly for England.

[jno]

237SJ, I believe there are still a handful of lesser teams left in the competition

[murraymints]

SSSSCCOOOOTTTTLLAAAAAAAANDDDDD !

[Tilly2]

There'll always be an England......

[jno]

tonyav, they were knocked out of the cricket cup the day before the official tournament song was released. As I recall they had to put in an appearance at Lord's while it was unveiled, looking like mugs.

[chrissa1]

You've just made me chortle, murraymints.
