Irish journalist Tom Humphries’ write up of Euro 2004. England were boring to watch, but showed fight at times, before going out on penalties. Relying on players like Beckham and Scholes to provide some flair, you know they are going to struggle. Classic foot in mouth stuff from Tony Adams at the end of the piece, too.

Tiger Tim fails again
Poor old Tim. As much as I love to see him fail year after year, you have to feel for him, I think there are very few sportsmen or women in the world under as much pressure as he faces during Wimbledon. I’ve got a sneaking admiration as he’s a serve and volley player in the old style, which is entertaining to watch. Pity he has the personality of one of the bats in a game of Pong.
