Yeah, England and France this year...Not a great time for them. While I think it's well within the fans' rights to point out how they've had several lackluster performances and feel annoyed, there has to be a line. When the world's against you (literally) and then your own supporters start turning, you're bound to feel hopeless. Let's just see if they can turn that hopelessness into ambition. Well, at least this applies to England. France I really don't know what to say. If they aren't behaving like a unit at all, then two bad games probably aren't going to change that. With other teams, you'll see them become more coordinated at the second half of a game or the next game itself, but France isn't changing.

I'm glad Netherlands is doing so well! I may be one of the few people here/on LJ/etc. who is really neutral about Japan. If they go through, I'll be happy, but I wanted Cameroon more. Above all, I'm rooting for Netherlands.

I was extremely neutral about Australia v. Ghana, though. I couldn't decide which one I liked more. As long as Germany makes it, though...Which they may or may not. Which reminds me, I need to catch their game against Ghana. I haven't seen one Germany game so far D:
