Very sad about the football but might I suggest supporting a different sport where you can really get behind our British chaps where we actually win more than any other nation.
British drivers have won the Formula 1 World Drivers Championship in 21 different years, with 11 different British drivers taking the ultimate crown since the championship began in 1950. This total of 21 titles makes the United Kingdom the most successful nation in F1 history.
These 21 titles were secured by 11 drivers: Mike Hawthorn (1958), Graham Hill (1962, 1968), Jim Clark (1963, 1965), John Surtees (1964), Jackie Stewart (1969, 1971, 1973), James Hunt (1976), Nigel Mansell (1992), Damon Hill (1996), Lewis Hamilton (2008, 2014, 2015, 2017-2020), Jenson Button (2009), and Lando Norris (2025).
I give you the score, Football World Cup 1—– Formula 1 World Championship 21.
I rest my case your honour!

About The Diary of a Country Bumpkin
I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work due to losing my agent when I became a full time carer to my mother who had dementia. and the option of becoming an unemployed actor/waiter at my age was ludicrous, especially as my waiting skills are non-existent.
Having said I’m retired, I don’t think there really is such a thing as a retired actor for I am still available for work, I just don’t have an agent or any connections with regards to obtaining any worthwhile work.
I have over the years done student films when there is nothing else available, always low paid (if at all) the only incentive was always the promised copy of the finished film for your show reel which nine times out of ten always failed to materialise.
I spent many years looking after my aged mother and shortly after her death I was lucky enough to run into an ex-girlfriend of many years ago and our romance blossomed once again, resulting in us getting married in 2013.
My move to the countryside inspired me to write The Diary of a Country Bumpkin which tells of my continuing dilemmas in dealing with the rigors of the countryside from the unexpectedly large number of pollens, fungal moulds and hay products waiting to attack the unsuspecting townie.
I enjoy writing, see my play Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori on The Wireless Theatre Company, The Plays Wot I Wrote and The Battle of Barking Creek both available on Amazon.co.uk and am very fond of classic cars so my ideal occupation would be acting in a film I had written set in the 1930s/40s, we live in hopes.
I am delighted to say that since venturing to the countryside where space is not quite the premium it is in town, I have due to the availability of two double garages acquired more classic cars to form a small collection the pride of which are a 1947 Bentley Mk VI and a 2000 Bentley Arnage.
My various blogs and websites are continually evolving and I’m sure that by following the appropriate links you will find something which will edify or amuse.
I have written a number of different books all available on Amazon, so don't be shy should you feel the urge to purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Joe-Wells/e/B06XKWFQHT/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1

I have been trying to upload the most fabulous music from Tom Carradine who does Music Hall and Cockney sing a long tunes. However he recently put up a risky Victorian tune with a young lady singing, it’s quite rude and apperently the Victorians did quite a lot of these tunes. I have tried all sorts to make the video work but I think he may have something to protect them which stops them playing. I imagine if you search for him on Facebook you may find him and especially this wonderful Victorian tune.
If you can find me on Facebook you may watch Tom Carradine’s video there, it’s well worth it. Search Joe Wells and look for my 1947 Bentley and my photo and you should have the right page.
