That goes without saying mate,
you not watching the WC then
Of course I will! I love football. However, I just don't feel anything for the England team. The last time I remember getting into it was Euro 96 but since then I just feel nothing.
I don't force myself not to like England, in fact it's the complete opposite, and I've analysed why I feel like this and I can't put my finger on it. A major factor is the fact that I dislike the vast majority of English footballers. I can put up with ours but I simply can't get behind c*nts like Ashley Cole, Ferdinand et al. To be fair to Rooney, at least he isn't your generic bling wearing gangsta wannabe footballer, so I can cope with him surprisingly.
Another major factor is I'm not patriotic at all. I love Manchester and Salford and would defend them to the hilt but not so England on the whole. Furthermore, I have no interest watching England next to a load of knobhead cockneys and yonners from Yorkshire backwaters singing "No Surrender!"
You never know, I might change as I get older, but I doubt it.
