I think the sight of a bunch of flag waving morons willing to cheer any slight piece of sporting success would make me sick.

I'm sure there will be a lot of genuine fans there but I bet the majority will only be there because there is no Royal wedding/funeral or outbreak of Henmania on the horizon.

Hmmm. Good point. Do I want to be surrounded by Glory-hunting, Hooray Henrys, or spend my lunchbreak on SZ discussing who the best left-back is?

The footage of todays parade should be shown to the England footie team before every World Cup game from now on, tell them that if they were to win the trophy then they could expect 10 times as many people to be there for them - not bad motivation surely?
