Let’s just be thankful we didn’t have to see Crouch’s “dance” after his “third” goal.

Here we go again! The English COMMENTATORS turn a Jamaican own-goal into a goal for Peter Crouch! The fact is that Crouch did not score a hat-trick – he scored two goals, and made a complete mess of a penalty.
As a Scotsman, let me make it clear – I am an official member of the Man Utd fan club, but my main club allegiance is to Celtic. I have no problems whatsoever with wishing the England fans and team all the very best in the World Cup, honestly.
But please, could we have a bit of balance from from the English COMMENTATORS!! The fact is that the first goal accredited to Crouch was a definite own goal, the second was a tap-in, although he did play well in the build-up, and his last goal was excellent.
Penalty – enough said!
Please help us Scots to support you, but OTT comments by the commentators are the real source of the discontent of Scots fans towards England.

Crouch had a great match today, and I’d feel much better today than I did a month ago if I were an Englishman.

Although it should be said, his missed penalty was atrocious. But as the announcer noted, “Well, at least it saves us from the celebration.”

I believe it was Ian Wright who also said that Horatio Nelson would also win the Vodafone Derby, who is also now probably winging its way to a kebab house near you.
