I must apologise to Southgate when I see him (fat chance of that)! I had made declarations to Mrs Fox never to watch football again following Englands scrappy attempt to score any goals. In fact, after Belgiums goal I went searching the freeview channels for something more entertaining and came up with 'If you can't pay, we'll take it away'....
Belgium always looked the more dangerous side when they were in possession of the ball, and their passing was superb, unlike our lads who kept giving it away....
However....I never thought of that Basser, what a splendid ploy....
I never watch football normally though, twenty two blokes passing the ball to each other with about thirty seconds of action when someone makes a break with the ball and whacks it in the back of the net. And sometimes it never happens at all...
You support your team and get so frustrated when there is so little action, it makes you angry when you can see the openings, and nobody takes advantage.
I much prefer Golf! You don't really support anyone, you just enjoy the skill of the players and admire the accuracy (or sometimes the lack of) of a player 'on form' and the scenery.......
....Especially Augusta!
