It's easy to tell that the Football World Cup is imminent because already the fans are driving around with flags of St George stuck up on both sides of their cars. There are also large flags draped from several windows around here too.
None of these pathetic people ever fly the flag of St George on St George's day, although he was the patron saint of England and I doubt that many of them would know when this is anyway, so for that reason, I refuse to take part in this ridiculous display of false patriotism. Not only that, I do not like football or footballers and I will certainly NOT be watching any of the World Cup on television.
I can remember watching England win the World Cup in 1966 but then it was a totally different game. The players were real gentlemen and they earned a pittance compared to today's players. In those days football was a proper sport, not only for the players but the fans were sporting too. There was certainly no thuggery at matches and they were enjoyed by whole families, but alas, not any more.
Most of today's footballers are grossly overpaid and I don't think they are as skilled as those that played when we did win the World Cup. Nowadays, if they get a tap on the ankle they fall to the floor in agony, grasping the affected leg but if another member of their team score a goal, they soon forget about the pain and are leaping about with all the rest.
As for the WAGS, don't get me started on them!
