What a good feller he is. Even if the team bomb at this Euros, he has achieved something quite special I think: making the England team likeable and inspirational again after years of the public perception being that they were overpaid bottlers who didn t really care for the national side.Â
Could also be a draw, I guess

Will England beat Croatia?
I suspect they probably will. If it was in a knockout round, I would say probably not. The Croats were worthy winners in the World Cup semi in 2018. But in a less pressurised group game sitch, I think England can probably do the job.

If you were to subscribe to the idea – to lift the relevant line from King Lear – of meddlesome gods who “kill us for their sport”, then you might look to this weekend’s Super Bowl as a classic case of divine mischief. It is no wild exaggeration to say that, even before it starts, what will play out in the Florida sun on Sunday may already be the most remarkable game in the history of an event that usually comes soaked in hyperbole.
