It wouldn’t surprise me if it was after. Nobody outside of Britain seems to understand the self deprecating humour.
Much like most people didn’t understand the whole football’s coming home meme of the past month was very much tongue in cheek when it started.
It didn’t help that a lot of the media didn’t get it either and convinced those people who are only paying attention to the England team every 2 years that it was really happening.
For a team that went into the World Cup with zero expectation, we went out with even more over expectation than normal.
At least we don’t have anyone or a situation to blame this time. We just weren’t good enough.
England’s ‘It’s Coming Home’ is USA’s ‘We believe’. We both know it’s not really serious but it keeps us entertained.
