As much as it pains me to say it, England's chances of reaching the knockout stages are looking slimmer than Abbey Clancy recently - Note to Crouch's missus - if you lose your boobs you lose the lucrative lingere contracts!
And with this in mind it may be time to choose the next team you are going to follow once you rise from the drunken stupor that England's 'lions' have sunk you into.
1. It is perfectly fine to follow South Africa just because they are the host nation. But it's not very inventive.
2. A sneaking suspicion that your great aunt's father's uncle's cousin was Mexican means that you can wear that Sombrero with pride amigo! after all, if it's good enough for the players...
Which brings us nicely on to rule 3. a reversal of Fight Club's sixth rule,"No shirt, No shoes"
If you are going to support another team, don't do it half heartedly - track down their strip on the Internet, knit yourself a scarf whatever, wear their colours with pride!
4. Pledging allegiance to the team you got in a random sweepstake is also a good option - New Zealand aren't looking so bad now are they?!
5. If you have no affinity to another country, try and find a player you like and simply support them, and therefore their nation.
6. But be warned, supporting the French means that you are never again allowed to speak to an Irish person, you are dead to them.
And finally, 7. If you wait, and pick a Group winner, simply because they have topped a group, you are a glory supporter and will be treated accordingly.
