If you're a new soccer viewer, and appreciate how Canadians approach hockey (duh who doesn't, we're the best), you'll most relate to the English in this World Cup.
They despise diving, the flamboyant exaggeration of most of the nations out there (Scots, Welsh, Irish, not withstanding) & like Canada in SLC '02, are on a dry streak dating back to 1966.
Hard nosed, gritty football.
And to further the contrast between how it should & should not be played, the English play the Italians tomorrow @ 4pm MST.
