Ukraine vs England - What Happened????

VS


Hello avid readers. Sorry for the lack of posts this week but i've been (and still am) pretty ill. Not great but there we are. Anyway, i've left the comfort of my bed in order to write a new post for you, so be grateful!!! The only problem is that it focuses on an abysmal weekend for English football, where one record came to an end, and an equally negative one was set. Lovely!

Last week, the very, very wise Wayne Rooney said he wanted England to go through to the world cup finals unbeaten... ha! This is England... it was never gonna happen and it didn't... Thanks Wayne.

The embarrasing 1-0 defeat in Ukraine also marked the start of a new English football record. Goalkeeper Robert Green, became the first keeper to be sent off for England. That's quite an honour Rob... cherise it...

Overall, just an awful, if not hilarious, weekend for English football. But, looking on the bright side, we've already qualified, so its not a major catastrophe after all!!!
