However, open joy on the part of big or even semi-big teams at the prospect of playing so-called minnows always seems like it might be a prelude to an upset. Would I be surprised if either Algeria or Slovenia turned out to be hard customers? I would not. Honestly, I doubt England have anything to worry about.

God help Blighty if the US comes out on top... the Sun (always the most sober non-hyperbolic voice in the British media) has a headline today that reads EASY as an acronym for England, Algeria, Slovenia, Yanks and that amount of silly over-confidence at the get-go basically seals the Lions to some kind of meltdown and early exit. And while business might not stop, there will have to be some serious introspection afterward, complete with the kind of existential questions that, I'm afraid, the Sun et al. just might not be able to answer, despite their endless capabilities of asking them (ie. Who are we if we're not footballers?, etc.) Good post!
