In my opinion ...

I’m an optimistic person, though it may be ‘tongue in cheek’

About our chances in ‘The Euros’ that have started just this week

We’ve a motley selection making up our team

The likes of some I’ve not heard of or even seen

I’m afraid I can’t pretend that I’m really excited

Or that I’d love to go and watch us play, not that I’m invited

I’d rather get my 'kicks' from watching teams like Poland play

With their ‘second string’ goalie diving down to save the day

I think I would prefer to watch my mate, ‘Phil The Power’, Taylor

Throwing darts in the UK Open, he’s an amazing player

Or the lovely Lewis Hamilton thrilling in his car

A great successful driver, we know that he’ll go far

Then there’s Jess, Thomas and Mark Cavendish, almost dead certs for gold

And Rebecca Addlington as well as others, so we’re told

We’re number one team in the world at the game of test cricket

As well as being one, two and three at golf, ‘yes’! that’s just the ticket

So I’m afraid that I won’t shed a tear if England fail to flourish

Because contrary to some opinions I think our football team is ..............overpaid and rubbish
