I don't want a manager who has won everything, I want a good manager, look at BRFC, a lot of I would say average players but a very good manager. That is what England need, but it is not easy to find one. The I'm trying to make is that the majority of World and European Championship winners/managers were people who didn't have that good a career at club level. Off the top of my head, look at Jürgen Löw (Germany), or previously Bertie Vogts, or Franz Beckenbauer, or Big Phil Scolatchi (or whatever his name is). Who was the french manager who won the World Cup? Being a successful club manager appears to have little bearing on what it takes to be successful at International level. Maybe, in the past, England have been looking at the wrong people. Plus, nobody seems to want to do the job. It is funny how average managers make good national managers or is it some clubs have so much money for players that a trained chimp can manage them ? So.........success is more about money than ability at club level ? Only in a few cases a brilliant manager wins with average players. I have no idea at all now, my head hurts.

I have a confession to make. I lie to my five year old son. Let me explain. Basically, he's German, although he does have German and English football kits, he loves his German one. Yesterday he said to me, "today we'll both support England. And tomorrow we'll both support Germany"......bless him. He wants to join in with me, and for me to join in with him. Of course, as Father's do, I said, "yes, of course", as I smiled and ruffled his hair. He skipped off happy as a sand boy. However, we all know that I will be sat there tonight silently cheering on the Northern Irish....bugger, I'd cheer on a team of Orc's if they were playing against Germany ! There is no way on God's Earth that I would ever support a German football team. Is it ok to lie to a young 'un? Does this make me a bad person? HTE likes to follow the Premier League through Match of the Day and Trading cards etc and he says he likes Spurs and Leicester and always says similar things to me as your lad. Who is your second team Dad? Who do you support in this game Dad? Like your lad he really wants to share in all things football with me but I outright refuse to support anyone else. He soon understood that and accepts it. He still enjoys "supporting" other teams but he always supports Rovers first. Just be honest and tell him it's ok to support England and Germany for him but tell him you don't. I'd also advocate forcing him to support just one National side. He'll thank you for making him German in the long run.

Hey, I'm all for lying about stuff that doesn't matter like "is Santa real?" and "why was Aunty June doing that to you daddy?" But sometimes you just have to administer some tough love. When is it ever a good time to tell your kid that England are sh**?

Sounds like our failure to win last night has now left us in the hardest half of the competition, at this rate Wales could get to the semi's!

Our half of the draw has England, France, Spain (vs) Italy and Germany. With the possibility of Portugal joining (and would play us). Goodbye Euros. Wales have a nice easy route through, on paper of course, with the biggest name on that side being Belgium.

No idea how they work out where the 3rd place finishers go.So Portugal will go in the easier half of the draw if they win the group but could end up there if they finish 3rd? They will be desperate to avoid finishing 2nd as they would have a great chance of making the final from that top half of the draw.Might stick a few quid on them to win the whole thing now.

You will see that wales are due to play the third p!aced team from either A,C,E.......I think ,can't remember for sure...... that means if the team that finishes third in group A is one of the four from six third p!aces that qualify it will be them that play wales. If team A...which is Albania.....fail to be one of the four it moves along to team C...which is northern Ireland. Currently as it stands Wales will be playing northern Ireland. If sweden,ireland both lose and group f had Portugal and Austria both losing then wales would play Albania.......I think !!

It was noticable, that last night Germany, who had already qualified, still played their strongest team against NI. Afterwards, Löw admitted that he wanted them to go two or three up, at which point he wanted to bring a few players off to give others a run out. The attitude was win the game first, make sure they are top of their group, and then worry about what comes afterwards......Woy has really ballsed it up, and now England are in the 'wrong half' of the draw.

Portugal seem a lot better since Ronaldo scored, especially in keeping possession. Their confidence seems restored. How we're going to get the ball off them I have no idea.
