'this is england'

yesterday was st. george's day, it largely went unnoticed, perhaps not unnoticed but a distinct lack of enthusiasm was shown. it seems that people are only patriot when there's an international football tournament. someone asked me whether portugal had a day similar to st. george's? does it matter? it's not like any significant celebrations took place.

so here's a little shout to the brits: there's quite a lot to be patriot about, but when you come to look at it football is not really one of them (the current english teams still in the champions league are all managed by non-english).
