Obviously I would have liked for us to have been there. I remember watching that Croatia game and my jaw just dropped when the final whistle went, i literally couldn't believe it. As absolutely awful as we were at that point I was convinced we'd pull it out the bag. And I loved watching the Euros, but It was such a hollow experience without England. Sure there are other teams and players I'm fond of but it wasn't the same. I think its analogous to Euro 2000. We'd probably have gone out of the group stage, embaressed, McClaren might have clung on, but not for long. We'd have got Fabio in anyway. So in that instance, yeah we might as well have been in it. Though it would have been dreadful going out the first round. God, its tricky. Obviously I would have liked for us to have been there.
