The dreaded opener

So today we had England's opener and the reaction twitter has given me is a lot more positive than first feared. I started the affair in my usual fashion by singing the anthem stood up by the sofa, yes I'm patriotic and love my country. The boys finally showed some passion in that shirt and it was great to see the ox putting a well deserved appearance in. As a fan I sat there and watched as Joe Hart flapped his way through the opening affairs until he finally got his professional head on. Then we had the goal that 'my Nan could of scored' as many said. But in Milners defense I was shocked that he managed to go forward and round the keeper but as its positives we will forget what he done next.
However after a decent start from Milner his appearance was just getting worse and worse until people were crying for Walcott the player that's been called shit all season? Anyway that's England fans for you. Then you had the goal and how glorious was it? The answer to that would be very as you had a nation on its feet screaming at the tv in disbelief that we had actually gone in front against the french! Being the rugby fan I am there is nothing better than sticking it to the french. This gave me and my friend confidence that we were already home and dry yet we were not even near half time! Deluded England fans I know.
As the confidence grew the inevitable struck as Samir Nasri fired a 20 yard shot past Joe Hart at his near post, the feeling around the nation was well and truly reflected in my room as silence occurred until my friend (Arsenal fan) said "Samir your a c*nt" I finally agreed with him. Then the doubt kicked in that I had upon kickoff but now it was stronger as France began to dominate and so did there fans with the camera shots. Most countries get good looking fans but not France which increased my hatred for the nation. Half time couldn't come sooner when Roy's boys went trotting of down the tunnel.
Were we gonna see an inspirational team talk that would inspire a hat-trick or 2. No certainly not as we saw France dominate early proceedings of the second half. But then someone clicked and England found a new style which I and twitter loved (apart from the welsh) It was almost as though we had gone all European and begun to enjoy the slow life just like the likes of Spain. Overstatement? More than likely yes. As England got going though the ref seemed to forget he had a whistle, being a rugby bo I liked seeing him ignore the dives but come on ref you were taking the piss!
As we got mad the minutes went by and so did the energy that the early minutes had. Then came some game changing subs, Andy Carroll maybe? No Jordan Henderson and Jermaine Defoe to replace Parker and Welbeck 2 of England's stars of the day. How did Milner stay on the pitch, is he dating Roy's daughter? These changes made no difference and the minutes ticked of as the smell of my dinner grew larger. Then Walcott appears finally some impact but wait he has about 4 minutes, who can make an impact in 4 minutes? The only good news of this was that Milner left the field. Yes as you can tell I dont like Milner.
The final whistle sounded and the fans feedback was coming in over text and all were positive. We all love the tactics and enjoyed the performance against a strong French side. I for one believe again. Football is coming home. Bring on Sweeden!
