There's a mistake in the poll. England aren't in the list of terrible teams.

We aren't a terrible team, we are terrible at playing. ENGLAND (the country) IS GOOD!

England are crap at football. Their lack of trophies suggests this.

The team isn't terrible, the playing is. I think that it is a personality test for the teams in terrible

I haven't, because I got Portugal in the class sweepstake at school, so now I have (at least) £6 (and then taking away the £1 initial donation) or, if Portugal win, £12!

Germany are clearly the best team left, so why no one chose them in THIS vote confuses me slightly.

Considering that post was just before half time, but still before the first goal, and this is all I know (at half time), I shan't check the score now, but I shall say that I want France to win, and knowing they have a goal, as then the two people gaining from the sweepstake will be not interested in football!

<checking the score>

France won! Horray! I think Portugal will find it easier to win now, and means I will double my £6 winnings!
