England, Plucky Losers

See, told ya, we were plucky losers against the French and as much as i hated the result, it was an exciting game with plenty to get us jumping and down in our seats and inevitably it ended with a penalty sailing far over the bar.
I was asked what would i prefer, England win the World Cup or my team Arsenal win the Premier League which i dodged answering and as an Arsenal fan it would be easy to make fun of Harry Kane who missed the spot kick but whether it's the Christmas Decorations in my eyeline or it being the season of Goodwill to all men, but i can't find it in myself to blame the Tottenham striker.
It was always going to be a problem when the same person takes a second penalty in a game, do they go the same way or try to go the opposite side or as Harry did, hit it that bit harder to make sure which leads to them overthinking it and someone in a neighbouring country finding an official FIFA Football in their garden.
With England out the problem us England fans now have is to decide who of the remaining four teams, Argentina, Croatia, France or Morocco, we are now backing but it's easy for me, Vive la France!!
Morocco have done brilliantly to get to the Semi-Finals and to only concede one goal, and that was an own goal, while knocking out established teams like Belgium, Spain and Portugal deserves applause but i don't want to see them win it and as much as i admire Messi, Argentina are the sort of team who could start a fight in an empty room so i'm hoping the other European nation, Croatia, send them back home and it's them lining up on the 18th December against the team with the World's best National Anthem, the La Marseillaise.
I do like the French National Anthem, it's very bouncy and tuneful which is one very shallow reason i'm backing our European Neighbours while another is the football cliche that we can then say we lost to the winners and therefore the Best team in the World.  
I hope the team, and Harry Kane especially, doesn't feel too bad because he, and the rest did well against the World Champions but that said i am sure that normal service will resume after the Premier League starts again on Boxing Day and i will be hoping Harry Kane sends more shots into orbit and Arsenal remain top of the League until the end of May.
