they're gonna be great now

I love international tournaments without England because you don't the crap England-obsessed media coverage. Instead, they'll have to talk about the teams actually playing (instead of spending halftime in a gripping match showing a tedious inteview with an England squad member at the swimming pool/golf course).

For the first time I'm actually tempted to go to a major tournment, since the place might not be clogged up with boorish pissed-up Eng-Er-Land w*nkers.
