Who will you support?

I'm getting jarred off by the BBC's ads for Euro 2008. "Who will you support?" Gary Lineker chirpily asks? I'll tell you who -- no one! Are the Beeb deluded about the British generosity of spirit? Without our own team to cheer or jeer, the event's a dud. And the ads just keep re-opening the wounds we sustained when our nations failed to qualify. The BBC would do better to focus on other Summer sporting events rather than flog this dead horse. Events we have a chance of winning, preferably. Let's face it, it's a big enough stretch for an English person to support Scot Andy Murray at Wimbledon.  But we'll back him if he'll let us, as he's a rare hope of British sporting glory.
