England...

I watched the England v Wales match with a Scottish guy, in a Penrith pub. He’d put a bet on (at 20-1) for a 2-2 draw (perhaps unable to bring himself to hope that either England or Wales would win… especially as Scotland had failed to make it to the competition). Of course, it’s hard to cheer for a draw.

It wasn’t much of a game. A 1-1 draw looked the likeliest result until Sturridge put England ahead with almost the last kick of the game. So England won, Wales didn’t, and a Scotsman lost his bet: a good result all round…
