Watching supporters of the other teams this tournament - including USA's, who've really taken to football this year - the support for the teams seem to be incredibly passionate and quick to forget mistakes on the pitch.

I do wonder how the English players would react to a fanbase that wasn't so cynical and quick to boo Rooney for sub-par performances. And the inevitable "but they're paid soooo much they should be happy!!!" replies this'll obviously get from people who aren't even fans of football just go to show how hostile English fans are.

It just seems that if you see an England fan on the big screen they're either bored, drunk out of their mind or biting someone's ear off.
