England are an infuriating national team. Up until the 2018 World Cup in Russia, they have done nothing but fall short and anger a football-mad country. Prior to the 2010 World Cup, this featured a ‘Golden Generation’ that was meant to change the tune of international football. 2010 would be their last opportunity.
The World Cup was held in South Africa to the nauseating tune of the vuvuzelas, a jarring, endless sound of out of pitch trumpets, similar to that when a wasps’ nest would make should you decide to shake it beyond belief.
This particular World Cup has mixed reviews.
