I’m not a big football fan, as evidenced by supporting Shrewsbury Town, but I do quite like international football.
England, of course, didn’t qualify for Euro 2008 giving us an insight into what it must be like for Scottish and Welsh people during every international football tournament.
I wouldn’t normally bother supporting a foreign team but this household is going to support the Netherlands for a number of reasons:
- Our best friends are Dutch (including our soon-to-be goddaughter, Emmy)
- Dutch people like English people
- English people like Dutch people
- They make nice cheese
- They’re not French
If anyone foreign (ie. Scottish) takes the piss about the fact England didn’t manage to qualify for Euro 2008 (which they do, even though they haven’t qualified themselves), just tell them that we don’t want to be in Europe – whether it’s the EU or football. I’ve tried it on a taff and a jock so far and it stumped them both times. 😀

Since our overpaid over rated team couldn’t be arsed to bother about Euro 2008 why should I?
Although if I was going to follow a foreign side it would be either Netherland or else Portugal (despite Ronaldo!). The Portuguese are our oldest allies & we’ve been thru a lot with them.
After the world cup, Ronaldo should have been deported!
