You're not going to Euro 2008?

England did not qualify for Euro 2008. The pigeons of Soho Square who fired Eriksson and hired McClaren have had their chickens come home to roost. McClaren's out and Capello's in. He didn't do so well against France in the friendly this week. Still, since England aren't busy this summer with Euro 2008, he'll have plenty of time to prepare for the 2010 World Cup.
So what's an American England fan to do in June? The USA are not invited (How rude! We won the last world war over there and rebuilt the place... and this is thanks we get?) Oh well, I guess new Europe is a lot like old Europe when it comes to football. Now if you're like me you can temporarily switch allegiances and root for some one else. We have Italian friends we met here in Boise two summers ago so maybe the Azzurri will win my backing. Then again, my friend Steve has lived in Romania so that's an option. I had some friends from Switzerland ten years ago and my friend Chad lived in Germany for a couple years. 6 degrees of separation and I could cheer on any team for Euro 2008... except France. I just can't bring myself to cheer on the French. For the rest of you who don't understand what the beautiful game has to offer... Euroball is here!
