But England IS the world.... isn't it? ;) And Wayne Rooney is the most
talented player in the world, not a tempestuous little twat whose team
played far better once he'd left the field...

I'm backing either France or Portugal now, don't mind which. I'd rather the
Germans didn't win just because I always find it a bit fishy when the home
nation wins - same goes for England in 66 and France in 98.
